Description
Proposal
GitHub is now offering free Arm64 Windows runners (with tooling preinstalled): https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/155713
Rust's CI should add new aarch64-msvc
jobs (mirroring the existing x86_64-msvc
jobs) using these new runners AND switch the existing dist-aarch64-msvc
job to also use the new runners.
I've verified that these jobs will work and already merged the necessary fixes.
The final piece of this is to add the aarch64-msvc
jobs themselves, and switch dist-aarch64-msvc
: rust-lang/rust#140136

Process
The main points of the Major Change Process are as follows:
- File an issue describing the proposal.A compiler team member or contributor who is knowledgeable in the area can second by writing
@rustbot second
.- Finding a "second" suffices for internal changes. If however, you are proposing a new public-facing feature, such as a
-C flag
, then full team check-off is required. - Compiler team members can initiate a check-off via
@rfcbot fcp merge
on either the MCP or the PR.
Once an MCP is seconded, the Final Comment Period begins. If no objections are raised after 10 days, the MCP is considered approved.

As mentioned on Zulip, an MCP like this is the wrong avenue for this.
Switching runners is purely an infra concern and just needs an r+, adding more CI tests means promoting the target to tier 1 and needs an RFC referencing the target tier policy.
Therefore, I'm gonna close this.
