You're asking we add code to mandate systemd and disable sysvinit
builds for genericarm64?

We should also mandate the 6.16 kernel and drop support for 6.12?

By extension that means that musl isn't supported for genericarm64
without security issues for example.

That would be a major change to our current plans/policies :(.

So no, this simple change really isn't that simple.
