aarch64 is not supported and there’s a long way to get there
it doesn’t hurt building it but people should not expect that it works at all. Because it
doesn’t.
Having the packages ready is a benefit of course, when we get to that we will have all the
bricks ready and we can start on making it work. But I can’t say when that will happen.

The virt stack is still working on aarch64, I believe it doesn't make
sense to try and start the work from oVirt's POV before CentOS 7.3 is
out.
That being said, I believe aarch64 support is a huge feature that'll
take a while to get to a point where we can start submitting bugs. No
news in that regard.
