There are armv5tel and armv7hl builds for F17.

The Raspbery Pi remix is the armv5tel build + some packages that can't
be accepted in Fedora (due to license issues, e.g., non-open-source
libraries).

Brendan has *just* added the Pi as a target for his nightly rootfs
images, but this hasn't been tested yet. This will be a bit different
from the final image but will let anyone who wants to play early. (/me
toddles off to test that out...)
