Fedora Atomic Desktops For POWER PPC64LE To End Due To Finding No Users

While Fedora is often times eager to introduce new spins and other variants as well as supporting a comprehensive set of CPU architectures, it doesn't always drive new users. By no longer building the atomic desktop images for POWER, it's less taxing on the Fedora infrastructure itself, less maintenance, and not having to worry about any testing/QA there.The resources can instead be focused on architectures where hardware is more readily available and with much more users. This change still needs to be voted on by the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee, but given no apparent users of these builds, it makes sense to not waste resources producing them.
