Is v4.14-based Centos an official version to support aarch64? If yes, I'd complement this version with the needed patches. Btw. if I google 'Centos aarch64' the links point to the altarch/7 images. What is their kernel base then? In other words, where should one search for most recent image of aarch64 images? Is there any public release schedule available? About sig-altarch tree, I'd need to make sure internally.
