It would be a different set of requirements. It's more similar to how architectures achieved the former "secondary" status. These requirements basically equate to: * availability of decent enterprise hardware that can be added to the Fedora data centre for build systems and other requirements (rel-eng, QA etc) * proven commitment from a company/team/community to support the architecture * reasonable availability of hardware. It's a lot of work for the various Fedora teams to support any architecture, even as a secondary architecture. Likely a lot of other stuff that I've missed out but I think it gives a general idea. In the time between bring up phase and acceptance of the above koji-shadow still remains the proper means of ensuring builds are as close to Fedora mainline as possible.
