Indeed it is weird we do not only compile packages natively on the build
farm. If we do not have enough aarch64 machines, would it make sense to buy
some more? How many would we need? Which are our options of machines that
can run the GNU system (as opposed to Guix on a foreign distro, and possibly
non-free firmware)?
