Looks like a good rational, but this opens other possibilities:

* would it be acceptable to add aarch64 only in 2.23.1 (in case the submission takes time) ?

* if aarch64 comes only with 2.24, what would be the ideal schedule for the release ?

I plan a release when the trunk is relatively quiet and when I have enough time for it.

Traditionally, the major release is planed for end of summer but we often slip a while :-)
