Need to also mention at least:
Ampere Altra
Ampere eMAG
AWS Graviton

I think the warning about x86 could be stronger than this. Would "keeping on life support" be more accurate than a "commitment to maintaining support"?

Yes, "commitment to maintaining support" is too strong.
This comes from website/archetypes/release/hardware.adoc, we should edit in both places.
Maybe something along the lines of "maintaining support as a Tier 2 architecture"

Add

other arm64 architectures (Ampere Computing and AWS).  Tone down the
level of i386 support.

This i386 section was moved, and then I replaced the original text with these two lines.

Ok from docs.
Btw, how long until Glen sends the announce message? :)

This version looks good to me.

(It's still early on Glen Standard Time.)
