You might contact them and ask about ARM, both 32 & 64 bit. It may not make a difference in the short term. But with Raspberry Pi and other ARM CPU based computers that can be used as desktops, (or in our case laptops), they would likely start seeing more ARM CPU requests for their software. You could even mention Raspberry Pi and others, like our Pinebook Pros.

Note that the default OS image is 64 bit kernel but only 32 bit userland. If I understand it correctly, we can't run 64 bit userland, (on the default OS image). So by default, a user would need ARM 32 bit software. I hope that changes, I'd like multi-lib, (both 32 & 64 bit), with a few 64 bit userland programs.
