IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy.

The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.
Arm is growing very fast, with Azure and AWS offering ARM servers, and with ARM available in real equipment ranging from nVidia Jetson and Raspberry pi sized systems, all the way up to 48 core boards, and 10k core clusters from Cray, for customers like USDOE, and Sandia National Labs.
It's not just Linux, but also Windows 10 is released for ARM, and Windows Server ARM build has been refreshed back to life, but is not GA.
It's likely plugins such as VMWare, Journalling, GPFS, NDMP, etc all would not be needed nor available in a first release (or maybe ever), but basic B/A functionality, at least from command-line, should be made available.
