I think it’s “Currently, Asterinas only supports x86-64 VMs. However, [rather than working on additional architectures this year,] our aim for 2024 is to make Asterinas production-ready on x86-64 VMs.”

Sounds like their goal is to improve their x86-64 support before implementing other ISAs.

It's clearer from the book roadmap:

> By 2024, we aim to achieve production-ready status for VM environments on x86-64. > In 2025 and beyond, we will expand our support for CPU architectures and hardware devices.

Distinction here is between "supports" and "production-ready on", not "x86-64" and "x86-64"

Yeah, I had to read that a few times... I think they just mean it isn't production ready yet, but that's what they are aiming for.

it would be nice to know how much userspace it supports. supporting the dynamic loader, reasonable futexes, epoll, signals, uring are all big milestones
