So?

Where would be the point in providing and maintaining a separate Apt
repository (and additional meta data) if there is no such official
repository for Fedora Core and Fedora Extras? It not only increases the
repository maintenance requirements at rpm.livna.org (even if somebody
automates things with scripts), it also creates a second point of failure
for users, who access the rpm.livna.org repository.

And has anything changed with regard to "ExcludeArch: x86_64 ppc64"
and Apt's upstream maintenance?

The reason I recommend Yum is because based on my personal experience, it
works most of the time for me, for normal "update" and "install" mode.
I never liked Apt and its less user-friendly interface (genbasedir,
apt-cache, install -f suggestions and the various invocations).
