I'm about to raise this vote, but I plan to tweak this wording to
instead say:

Regarding inclusion of macOS ARM64 Support in OpenSSL 1.1.1 LTS:
The OMC accepts the required configuration change, making an exception
to the rule that prevents adding new platforms to stable releases.


This is just to make it a little more accurate. New platforms are
counted as new features, and the rule is that we do not add new features
to stable releases. The rule is not specific to an LTS release - its any
stable release.

It was in one of our online meetings, that resulted in the LTS+
proposal.

As far as I know, there are no examples where we have allowed
adding a platform in the stable release branch.

Do you have a link to that discussion?

If there is a prior example where this has happened I should also remove the
statement that it is a unique case and mention the prior incident instead.

In a previous discussion we have talked about when a platform can
be added in an LTS release. I think that in general if it's only
configuration changes and there is a very low risk that it's going
to have issues requiring other changes, we should allow it.
