 But this thread doesn't have anything to do with tier platforms.

 arm64 (as an arch) will be tier-1 for 13.0 if I understood correctly.
 But that doesn't mean that RPI or any Allwinner or Rockchip boards will
be defacto tier-1.
 Each board, or more exactly each SoC/SoC family, still needs to be
maintain and correctly supported.
