It won't be for Raspberry Pi. The armv5tel was dropped for Fedora 19.
It will be supportable but that's through a different effort that I've
not got the time to be involved with. It will worth with around 20 odd
ARM devices including a new soon to be announced device that will cost
almost the same as a RPi and be a lot more powerful.
