  I added ppc to fr.rpmfind.net. One interesting point of yum
is that it should be relatively easy to extract statistics from http
logs for things like:
   - relative use of different arches
   - most updated packages
   - are extras packages sources used
   - which extras are most popular
absolute values may be a bit hard to get since people will use local
mirrors, but there may be useful informations to gather still.
