[racket] Possible to install both plt-scheme from repo and racket from racket-lang.org?

Just for the record, EPM now has an %arch itecture directive (armv6, ...
i386, i486, ... powerpc, etc.).
To answer the question about whether this project is still alive, it seems
that a version 5 is on its way, but with no release date.
