Upstream is documenting quite well the maturity of each OS/arch they target: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book/getting-started.html arm (32,64) is currently at Tier2, same as mips (LE,BE). ppc is a Tier3, instead. Before providing binaries for non-Tier1 arches, I would discuss this with upstream, as we have several drawbacks: * we need an external/custom stage0 * no CI/testing before release * stability and support is not guaranteed IMHO, a better option would be to voice for promotion of some arches. armhf and arm64 looks like good candidates to me, and I guess the main blocker at the moment is lack of upstream CI infrastructure.
