Fixed with

We made the PPC64 build_artifacts jobs not invoke deploy to experimental a
long while ago.

We did this because we have a race condition between the build_artifacts
jobs for a given commit for different platforms. This can and does cause
various issues, but having the Fedora build invoke deploy-to-experimental
and OST before the EL7 build is done is mostly harmless.

With PPC64 the issue is that when PPC finishes building before x86_64 we
end up with 'noarch' packages in the repos that are newer then the
equivalent x86_64. This in turn causes the experimental repos to be broken
and OST to fail until the x86_64 build is done.

Fixing this will require creating some sort of a synchronization mechanism
between the build artifacts jobs. This is not easy to do unfortunately.

I made a ticket for us to track various possible solutions:
