The ARM64 project is pleased to announce that all ARM64 profiles are now stable.

While our developers and users have contributed significantly in this
accomplishment, we must also thank our [Packet](https://www.packet.com) sponsor
for their contribution. Providing the Gentoo developer community with access to
bare metal hardware has accelerated progress in achieving the stabilization of
the ARM64 profiles.
