Funny you should say that because I proposed 4 vm including a freebsd vm on the ampere altra (aarch64) system at first, but for some reason I forgot, we ended up with 3 vm all linux-based. Being said, we could revisit the idea, if there are enough people on this list express their interest in using such a system (e.g. at least 2 people?).
