Can anyone in the know share details on when arm servers with CHERI extensions can become generally available to developers and for deploying to production?
What’s the current consensus on how this rollout and transition is expected to happen?

I'd like to see something similar standardized for ARM and available in off-the-shelf ARM CPUs and SoCs; I'd also like to see it supported in Apple's ARM SoCs and OSes, and in Android and Windows on ARM.

Although not CHERI, Solaris SPARC, iOS PAC and Android MTE (on ARMv9) are already doing memory tagging.
