So, I'm a bit surprised I didn't notice this before, but...our PRD states:
"Fedora Server will produce two main installation resources, a netinstall image and an offline install iso image that allows one to install and configure featured roles offline."
However, this doesn't really cover how we do ARM installations, or at least not how we've done them so far. We provide disk image files for most ARM platforms; only one ARM platform so far (AIUI) supports use of anaconda.
Is ARM a target arch for Server? If we say "no", well, is that okay? What does it mean for ARM's "primary arch" status in Fedora? If we say "yes", I guess we have to add ARM disk image media to our 'delivery mechanisms'? Does someone want to talk to the ARM folks about this? Is it going to be me? :)

Our Technical Specification[1] states: "Fedora Server will run on and provide install media for i686, x86_64, and armv7hl servers."
So yeah, we have kind of dropped the ball on how we're going to do the ARM delivery. Adam, if you wouldn't mind being that liaison, that would be really helpful.

No problem, I've dashed off an email to the ARM list.
