[Arm-dev] Why RPi3 under Arm32 rather than AArch64?

Hi, all.  First-timer here.

I am setting up a new Raspberry Pi 3.  When I review the AltArch pages, I
see that most of the RPi3 coverage is categorized under Arm32, including

  https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32/RaspberryPi3

I'm under the impression that the RPi3 is actually a AArch64 system.  I'm
not sure whether I should use

versus


http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64-rootfs-7.4.1708.tar.xz

Can a more-experienced person clarify this for me?

Thanks,

Chris Ursich
