Hmm, right. The thing I was actually wondering was, *why* the same
architectures are not covered by PGDG.

As of now, I am not sure, but if required I will at least try to see
if that can be arranged.

So, when we see that there are N number of OS/architecture
combinations for which PGDG does not provide packages, is it so
because we don't have dedicated machines satisfying the minumum
requirements like RAM/core/disk ? In other words, is it only a matter
of providing such machine and adding it up in the buildfarm members
where it passes the regression tests, or there are are some more
requirements over and above the machine resource requirements after
which PGDG can officially support those OS/architecture combinations ?
