Well, Fedora Core for SPARC would be primarily a volunteer effort.

It *is* useful to Red Hat to have packages that function on both
32-bit and 64-bit systems, and on both big and little endian systems.
So there's some value to Red Hat in having SPARC or PPC Fedora Core,
just from the standpoint of fixing package bugs that would otherwise
bite us later when building on some architecture for a new version
of RHEL.

The reason we thought of SPARC is that Aurora has collected a set
of developers who have some experience building a SPARC distribution
and there's really not much reason for Aurora to exist separately
from Fedora in the long term.  This should not be construed, by
the way, as meaning that interested parties could not work on a
Fedora Core for PPC!
