Please be aware that this does not silently introduce aarch64 as a premium tier, however it is aimed to define the rules that any architecture port including aarch64 would have to meet in order to be considered a premium tier. So once we agree on the terms and scope, AArch64 would be requested to be evaluated against this.
Can't help thinking about the opposite: the question if i586 still satisfies the criteria and if it should be still considered premium tier architecture.
AFAICS we do not run i586 tests in openQA and I don't think majority of package maintainers does actually care about i586 beyond reactively responding to OBS build failures or reported bugs. I would even dare to say more developers and maintainers (both upstream and openSUSE) in fact care about aarch64 than about i586.
We do run openQA tests (allbeit limited to a rather low set); and i586 is still very mandatory for package builds, as otherwise there are no -32bit packages, no steam, no wine Of course, there are a few packages where upstream clearly states they are no longer caring for i586 and no longer build for this platform - but that is handled via ExcludeArch tags in spec files.
