Hmm.. to me it looks like there might well be a 7.1 for sparc.. Look on
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide. sparc binaries are still present and
very active. Heck, even the latest kernel 2.2.17-8 builds perfectly on
sparc64 here. I think we might see for 7.0 the same than what happened for
6.0: no sparc nor alpha but we got them in the next release. When RH said
there wouldn't be a 7.0 for sparc, I got scared about that but looking at
the rawhide stuff where there was so much sparc-compiled stuff cooled me
down..:) I surely hope that we get 7.1 for sparc.

Just my 2c.
