I cant seem to find any mention beyond 'the 32bit firmware cant boot a 64bit kernel, so there needs to be some magic in the kernel to switch, and noone is keen on doing that work' ( this is across many threads on the rpi site itself. Their own github issues seem to also be stalled with no real activity there. > however we won't be able to support it out of the box, because of > the uefi requirement anaconda has.
