You keep thinking that ARM is a secondary architecture and it would be on
alt.fedoraproject.org. ARM is a primary architecture and so would NOT show
up on alt. ARM has been a primary architecture for many releases so this
isn't new.

The arm architecture has its own weirdness in the same way that we call
x86_32 i386 but we build i686 packages. When x86_64 splits into 48 bit
memory path to some larger memory (60 bit I think is discussed) sometime in
the future, we will probably still call it x86_64 but build x86_64b
packages. The world of building for hardware is messy..
