Thanks for the post!

Question: While you would want any official arch built natively, maybe an interim stage of emulated vm builds for wip/development/unsupported architectures would still be preferable in this case?

Comparing the tradeoffs: * Packages disabled and not built because of long build times. * Packages built and automated tests run on inaccurately emulated vms (NOT cross compiled). Users can test. It might be broken.

It's an experimental arch, maybe the build cluster could be experimental too?
