There is a test PPA [1] available that we can use to pre-check this before the actual SRU. Since there are quite some changes I'll run all my checks on the PPA, but I'd ask you to please test ppc64el before I bring that to the SRU Team.
I'll also in a mail poll for Openstack tests. Setting incomplete until all the safety checks are in.
