22 It is great to see you have reached the point of creating the arm64 project :)

24 Would you like security to CC as well while to assist the arch as you work toward a stable profile? This would not hold/delay the security bug process until you are officially security supported, but I believe it will help achieve your goal of stabilization.
25
26 If you desire to do so, security team can discuss support and our internal way forward to assist.
