Right. For clarification, we (Fedora) have no plans to do multi-arch (though I know many of us are personally interested in the idea). That doesn't mean we can't have a platform specific linker path change. Again, AArch64 needs to be perfection from day 1. There will be no changing of linker paths or other nonsense after we ship something.
