aarch64 packages are ~1 month out of date

[Jan Beich]

I'm occasionally fixing ports on aarch64. Without hardware this requires
qemu-user-static. Emulated builds are known to be extremely slow and
experience issues that don't occur on real hardware. A way to workaround
that is by using prebuilt binary packages. For some reason, the packages
haven't been updated for a while but no heads up have been announced
here, on arm@ or pkg@ list. Looking at http://thunderx1.nyi.freebsd.org/
there is no major fallout atm.

What's going on?
