We need a better name than M1 given M2s are already out; Apple Silicon support?

Or just generalize to something like arm64 support?

Good point! I went with M1 since that is what folks referred to and are most likely to look for when using tags autocompletion. Your suggestion is great for the tag name and I guess we can add aliases for m1 / m2 to ease discovery (ex: apple-m1 apple-m2 etc).

Are we actually want to support the whole range of ARMv8 architectures? Will there be conflicts between different use cases?

There might be chip specific issues to worry about at some point, but it seems more reasonable to me to think about arm64 as a general class of compute resources than to just focus Foundation staff laptops. ARM in the data center is something that projects working in 3rd party clouds might already be able to take advantage of (AWS Graviton, GCE Tau T2A).

Looks like we might want something more generic than just Apple M1. What about we go with a tag named ARM Support and add hashtags aliases as needed (arm64, apple-m1, m1-mac etc)?

Thanks @Jdforrester-WMF !
