Awesome news!

I've been running a few versions of the RCs for NetBSD 10 on a Pine RockPro64. A few reasons NetBSD 10 is a good choice for this Aarch64 device:

- Handles ARM's big.LITTLE well. You can use /usr/sbin/schedctl -A 4,5 to pin a process to the fast cores.

- Generally rock solid -- I've had uptimes in months and generally only rebooted when I upgraded. Like today!

- Can boot from an eMMC instead of an SD card.

- Supports the PCIe card. I have an SSD adapter. You can even use ZFS.

- HDMI support.
