Just out of interest, why aren't they cross compiling RISC-V? I thought that was common practice when targeting lower performing hardware. It seems odd to me that the build cycle on the target hardware is a metric that matters.

Please skim the thread :) We've already discussed it twice. Fedora "mandates" native builds.

Build time on target hardware matters when you're re-building an entire Linux distribution (25000+ packages) every six months.

I failed to find this on my skim, my bad :(

Interesting that it's mandated as native - i'm really not sure the logic behind this (i've worked in the embedded world where such stuff is not only normal, but the only choice). I'll do some digging and see if I can find the thought process behind this.
