2016 old official stages are for arm 32bit. arm64 stages are less than 2 months old. Been working on stabilization queue, so the next built stage would actually have updates :) Regarding arm (where things are too outdated): there are newer unofficial stages out there from non-developers, but official builds have stalled. Using those servers for arm32 stage builds could be interesting though to get something out properly when hand-built, but I make a point of staying hands off of arm32 (there's only so many hours in a day), so I don't even know if it'd be anything similarly easy like x86 on amd64 hw is. If it is, I might be able to do the necessary commands to get it done, when someone helps handle the issues that come up. More details from arm64 side in a couple days hopefully, if still needed.
