alpha is a dead arch
m68k is a dead arch
sparc is trying hard to stay alive with Sun using amd/intel hardware now

The following archs are what they have supported in the past or seem
to plan to support at some time in the future:

Fedora		- i386/ia64/ppc/ppc64/s390/s390x/x86_64
RedHat (RHEL)	- i386/ia64/ppc/s390/s390x/x86_64
SUSE		- alpha/i386/ia64/ppc/ppc64/s390/sparc/sparc64/x86_64

BTW - Fedora only releases archs when they are ready from the look of
it with x86_64 core 1 release happening well after the i386 release.
