It's not an architecture specific observation. I was just observing that you were following a pattern which in all other cases ended up with a merged tree.
Now it could be your tree is different, it could be that the right approach in all these cases is actually to do a new tree and merge five years later - I don't know.
It's your (aarch64 folks) project at the end of the day and you who have to keep all the fixes and errata and whatnot in sync between the two trees and I don't personally care too much which way it happens.
