I just want to bring POWER up as a freedom-respecting architecture.
Especially the TalosII from RaptorCS[0]. I know that guix does not work
on ppc64le yet, but I'm working for it :) They tend to be quite
expensive, but you get a decent performance on compiling and packing[1].
Regarding ARM hardware: I have access to a bunch of performant ARM
machines (Cavium Thunder, AMD ARM stuff etc.) at work. So feel free to
drop me a mail or set me to CC, if you need something to be tested on ARM :)
