I don't think we want to add any test for riscv64 at this stage. RISC-V is still a young architecture, so requiring newer extensions for some packages means requiring very recent hardware. For instance we do not support any hardware with vector extension in trixie, so I do not think it is fair requiring that, even for some packages, in forky. On the other hand runtime detection and support for newer extensions is definitely welcome provided it works.
