Discussion of Secondary Arches
- Blizzard proposed ARM as a secondary Fedora architecture

- Additional discussion around whether PPC should remain a primary architecture

1. secondary arch process is finalized 1. there are no other secondary architectures
- Board approves and welcomes ARM as a secondary architecture
