Sure, I can label the AArch64 bit experimental too.

I wouldn't include comments about python here though. The fact that it's not easy to build LLDB with python for windows/aarch64 isn't an intrinsic feature of LLDB or something that is missing in LLDB, that's just python.

It is actually possible to cross compile LLDB with python support for windows/aarch64, at least for the mingw target. Python itself is a bit tricky to cross compile, but once that cross compilation itself works, building it for windows/aarch64 isn't any worse than for x86. In https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/issues/73 there's ongoing efforts in building and packaging LLDB for windows with python enabled. As it's primarily cross compiled, it's a bit tricky for running tests though.
