Hi Gilad, There are no immediate plans for arm. Our focus will be primarily on x86 whilst we are in a transitional state and clearing some of the backlogged issues. After we have fully established the maintenance of project, we will be determining what a longer-term roadmap looks like and how we plan to further develop xCAT. Regards, Matt.

Good morning mailing list, We, xCAT consortium, are working on various activities in the background to be able to maintain xCAT fully.

Re: [xcat-user] [External] Re: RHEL9 support in xcat
Not only is there a thread on this list but there are numerous sites on the web stating that support and development has been sunsetted. So, occasionally posting info rmation on the transition process (whatever that may be) would certainly help to boost user confidence in XCAT as a viable Solution.
