    This is what we needed. I am looking forward to see where it leads.

      I don’t even get what it is for.

      Arch is an x86_64 distribution. What other architectures do we need to integrate? There are already Arch variants for other architectures.

        I think the point is to make official Arch run on other architectures, like aarch64 and riscv64 and use the Arch infrastructure to do so.

        Arch Linux ARM has not been doing well for a couple of years.

          Exactly. Having so many projects spun from the main distribution just for porting to different architectures is uselessly fragmented. This RFC will make Arch Linux officially ported to architectures other than x86-64 under the same infrastructure. Among other benefits, it should bring better maintenance. I think this is huge.
