4. We should be able to guarantee that release-blocking bugs on ARM
targets will be fixed (if technically possible) before the actual
release.

There is no point in define ARM as a release-blocking target if there
is no commitment in actually fixing release bugs. What keeps ARM on
the bench is just the lack of general commitment. Somebody has to own
it, for real.
