It would need ARM users who were able to handle the job of building LFS on that platform. and that includes very advanced trouble-shootng at times (gcc 10 anyone?). And not just one user. To be sustainable a project needs enough contributors to carry on when some are otherwise occupied. And with a level of succession planning so that if the "lead" developer has to give up there are people sufficiently clued-up to take over. The time commitment must be enormous, and the technical expertise required quite considerable. I sincerely admire those currently involved, but I don't see a queue of applicants to join them.
