Hi folks!
A few of you have seen this already, but just wanted to send out a wider announcement: having been deservedly shamed by pbrobinson, I spent most of this week working on aarch64 testing in openQA, and am happy to announce that:
* Quite a few existing issues in tests have been fixed * Testing coverage has been enhanced a lot to cover the Minimal, Server and Workstation disk images, with the full set of Base tests run on each * aarch64 testing is now enabled on the production openQA instance!
We've had testing running on the lab (formerly known as staging) instance for a long time now, and I've been meaning to also enable it on production for over a year, but it kept getting delayed by this and that (most recently, the infra move). But now it's done.
The consequences of this - beyond, of course, that you can now see aarch64 tests in the production openQA web UI - should be that the aarch64 results show up in the "compose check report" emails, and will also show up in the validation wiki pages, just like x86_64 results. openQA should fill in quite a lot of boxes in the Installation, Base and Cloud pages for future validation events, taking some of the test load off of manual testers. Next week I intend to enable most of the Desktop tests on the Workstation disk image too.
I have not enabled updates testing yet, because we just don't have the capacity, unfortunately. If we can get more testing capacity we could do this.

Thanks for your work on this Adam, it's much appreciated, this is awesome news!
