We have kind of waved our hands about "arm" in this discussion.

aarch64 in FreeBSD is far more mature:

 - there are less variations to troubleshoot

 - building ports natively is much easier

 - in general, FreeBSD ports work better on 64 than 32-bit

Cc:ing emaste@, who has been advocating Tier-2 for arm for a while.
(I probably should have brought him into this discussion several
days ago.)
