This one looks good.  It would be nice to specify which commit was used
to produce the binaries though, and I would encourage using Guile 2.0.14
(I’m afraid you’ll be mad at me for asking you that ;-)) because it’s
bit-reproducible.

How does that sound?

I think they call it ARMv9 no?  I would also add “This is currently in
an experimental stage, with limited support.  @xref{Contributing}, for
how to help!”.

Thanks,
