As I understand it, while zEC12 is EOL (you can no longer purchase it), it is not (yet) EOS, so existing systems can still obtain service from IBM, although IBM would have been trying for some time to get one to upgrade to a more recent variant of those z systems. So while some sites still might be using EC12 hardware, I suspect few run Fedora (even if only in a VM under z/VM), and if they run linux native it is likely they are running an enterprise variant, and EL8 already requires z13 or higher, and EL9 requires z14 or higher (so the hardware is already recent). Given that s390x is a niche target for Fedora, I don't really think that this change will have any real world impact if approved. That all said, I do agree with others that it should have gotten approved earlier such that the mass rebuild would catch any build issues. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
