Description David Williams

In general, in the past, the community has requested, and the platform has complied, to make "all platforms built" available in the Sim. Release platform. 

While we added ppc64le in Luna (without adding to Sim. Release repo) we think for Mars it will be mature enough to add to Sim. Release repo. 

One implication is that some people had to explicitly "exclude" it, while building their deliverables for Luna, so if those people had exactly the same build framework for Mars, they will need to "split streams" or add a property to exclude it or not, depending on their desires and or their streams. 

In concrete terms, adding this platform to Sim. Release means to add following element to simrel.b3aggr file: 

  <configurations operatingSystem="linux" windowSystem="gtk" architecture="ppc64le"/>

We plan to do this for Mars M2.
