Hi Normand,

Thank you for bringing this up. You have indeed pointed out a gap in what we're currently
delivering with Fedora CoreOS preview and what we were delivering with Atomic Host. The good
news is that we have done enablement work to allow for Fedora CoreOS to be run on other
platforms. The bad news is that we don't currently run our build infrastructure in an environment
that has other architectures available.

So while you can build it yourself today, there is currently no where to download it from the Fedora
website. I have added Jakub Cajka who was working on getting some space to host unofficial builds of
Fedora CoreOS for other architectures for now. I'll also link you to our open issues where we're working
through our strategy for delivering multi-arch FCOS:

    - https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8370
