I was thinking along the lines of the latter, that this doc is strictly for upgrading existing systems to 15.1-RELEASE.

But, we consistently use the terms AArch64 and AMD64, so I'd like to just use that, since they would have gotten far enough to have a system that they are upgrading if they didn't know that. Even the downloads page only says those terms.

"AArch64 systems always use the UEFI boot loader.
To determine which boot loader to update on AMD64 systems, run the following command:"
