Splitting ppc64 keyword into ppc64 and ppc64le Currently the ppc64 arch keyword matches both big endian (ppc64ul) and little endian (ppc64le). While there are similarities, there is quite a big gap in support level across both of them. If I understand the history correctly, ppc64le is the "next gen" after ppc64ul, and it is seen across upstream support, and as a result in the masks. We have many masks on the ppc64 profile, which are there for ppc64ul, and then unmasks for ppc64le. This split of keywords should make it easier for ppc64 maintainers (since less ugliness in profiles), package maintainers (simpler to mark ppc64le only), and for ppc64 users (easier to request keyword for only one side, so no need to handle issues on the other "arch"). I want both arches to be of same state (stable arches, with profiles remaining at current state). b. Splitting riscv keyword into riscv and riscv32 I'm not part of the riscv arch team, but I understood from dilfridge that riscv64 and riscv32 are very different, and having both behind the same keyword creates various issues. Since I already propose spliting ppc64, we can also split riscv on the same wave.
