There was indeed discussions, but mostly about i386. 
Dennis said he thought we could set things up so we could build i386
against CentOS, and still build x86_64 against RHEL. 

There wasn't too much further discussion about s390 specifically.

Yeah, there's still questions about builders (where and controlled by
whom) and how to handle failures, etc. 

Perhaps we could discuss outstanding questions in the next meeting
(friday at 18UTC in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net)
