[For glibc, binutils, gcc, kernel only] > The “IOW“ part does not really make sense to me. I mean that currently the changes to those packages are very invasive and also involve substantial non-upstream patchsets. I want those patchsets to go upstream first, and for the other differences in the spec file to be substantially reduced or eliminated. > Do you plan to have a special branch in dist-git of these packages? The details aren't worked out, but I imagine completely separate spec files + patches for those packages, stored outside Fedora, and infrequently rebased against Rawhide. A private-* branch in Fedora dist-git would also work, but I understand that Fedora doesn't want to give any "resources" to this architecture at the moment.
