I'd say it's slightly unclear. So far as *the ARM team* is concerned,
they 'support' that hardware, but so far as *anyone else* is concerned,
aarch64 has been a secondary arch all this time. No aarch64 image has
been considered 'release-blocking', the aarch64 trees / images are
published in the fedora-secondary tree (not the fedora tree), etc.
