I'm delighted to see some efforts that might lead to Tails on Apple silicon.

Again, I'd encourage this work to *also* keep an eye to long-term implementation
on Raspberry Pis. Pis are widely available and inexpensive, so supporting them
would make sense. Since they *also* use ARM chips, much of the same work would apply.
Basically, as changes are made, try to support them as well where
it's easy (and document where it isn't). I'm aware there are few longer-pole
issues in progress for both Apple Silicon & Raspberry PIs.
My hope is that as they get resolved, the rest will more easily slide into place.
Also, taking steps for similar platforms may mean that if you get
stuck on one, you can can still complete the other.

I wish good luck to all involved.
