Like I said before I think Fedora does a good job.

Also I am coming from user experience from a few years ago, so it seems like things have gotten better.

Also, Fedora users don't need to depend on many third party repositories. For users needing patent encumbered non-free software they used to go to Livna. Now they can go to RPMFusion instead which is a merger of many such third party repositories re-using much of the infrastructure bits developed within Fedora. The maintainers are usually involved with Fedora as well so there isn't much of a difference overall including PPC support. The difference from Debian is that such a repository is split away completely and is a independent effort not included or enabled by default, in part due to legal reasons.
