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
Yes, -32bit compatibility packages are (unfortunately) still important. But there is IMHO a big difference between considering these (and their build dependencies) essential and considering the whole architecture (i.e. distribution which can be actually installed, booted and used) premium tier. I'm not saying we should drop i586 completely (even if I wouldn't mind) but if we are trying to define clear set of criteria for promoting new architectures from ports to the "premium tier" status, it would be only fair to check if existing premium tier architectures (like i586) still meet these criteria.
