I wanted to provide a bit of warning for upcoming aarch64/arm64
repository changes, as they may impact users with local mirrors.

1. I'm re-spinning the install media based on newer kernel patches I've
pulled in from some vendors. This will allow the installer to support
some of the newer hardware that's recently become available.

2. In order to enable the aarch64 community builder, I've had to more
closely align some of the aarch64 packages with the main distribution
packages. This is primarily to deal with how noarch packages are handled.

The end result of this change is that the repo file will now contain two
gpg keys, so if you've set up your own mirror and customized the repo
file, you'll need to modify your updated file similarly.

I expect to be able to release the updated tree early next week so these
changes will happen reasonably soon.
