  1. Create 0087-aarch64-tier1.md

  4. Add a note about the increased cache coverage 

    It's mostly perceived coverage due to channel bumps waiting for stuff as @samueldr noted

  8. Decreased importance of the qemu-binfmt bits 

    There are build failures sightings when using emulation, these need to be tracked down (but that's out-of-scope for this RFC).

    A separate channel could let us gauge how much work we'll need to keep the channel green.

  1. Mark capacity question as solved 

    I think the note in Detailed design about getting AWS instances in case we need burst capacity solves the question about having enough CPU power.
