Big endian will stay around as long as IBM continues to put in the resources to provide first-class Linux support on s390x. Of course if you don’t expect your software to ever be run on s390x you can just assume little-endian, but that’s already been the case for the vast majority of software developers ever since Apple stopped supporting PowerPC.
