Oh and I forgot.

The ppc and x86_64 releases are both the products of community
interest and community contributions. Back in earlier fc releases, it
was going to be pc 32bit only.. because that is what RedHat was
prepared to maintain.  But people outside redhat, in the larger
community stepped up and did a lot of the hard work getting the x86_64
distribution to the point where Fedora could ship a release
officially. And a similar community effort for ppc happened to make
ppc a tier one architecture release that is part of official Core
releases now.
