I guess you can't read and needed to try again.

Besides extra burden on the build infrastructure, are there other
issues? Curiosity calling, as I'm not using any arm64 devices
personally.

I'd assume that such image would be very challenging to tailor for the
general use, as embedded systems are ususally highly specialized.

What are perceived issues with approach?

I'm not interested in building additional images which will be used incorrectly,
but the biggest factor is the additional build time (on every snapshot), which
will increase arm64 build time.  It might be easy, but it is wrong.

Pre-built images for embeded machines

[Odd Martin Baanrud]

Hello,

Are there any plans for providing pre-built images to be used on embeded 
machines, like FreeBSD and NetBSD do?
It would be nice to run OpenBSD directly from a SD card on the Raspberry Pi e.g.
