Well, if they aren't going to do the work, someone needs to do the work
to support the OS. What's happened since 2020.04 is that we now
correctly detect and fail something that claims to be a Linux ARM64
Image, but is not. We aren't going to go back and re-allow that, it was
a bug.

The proposal I outlined for how I think it should look, for proper
support, is something that I hope someone interested / motivated can
look in to doing.
