Would be great if we can get an official ARM image out soon. Our M1 users can really benefit from this. Running Airflow in emulated mode is simply unusable at the moment.
In the long run, I think there is a very high chance that ARM will take over x86. So it's not a bad idea to plant the seed early :) Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with this.
