> So do we want to do: We want to build one disk image that boots on x86_64, ARM AArch64, and RISC-V 64-bit. We limit ourselves here to UEFI platforms, which makes this pretty straight forward.

It kind of feels like this should have been the default across all architectures - a single disk that supports multiple instruction sets. 32 bit? 64 bit? Intel x86? Intel x86_64? RISC-V? Imagine how much simpler it would be for the end-user.

I still believe to this day that it has been a massive mistake to not ship ARM devices with some form of BIOS/UEFI chip to allow the system to boot without a bootable image.
