big-endian, moving to little endian would mean getting some updates for the thin layer hypervisor that sits on top of the hardware and that would means paying some support money I don’t have. While power always could technically be setup in any endianness, the support for little endian has only been forthcoming from IBM with the arrival of power8. Way after we bought the hardware.
