are repos gonna mirror new archlinux repos?

in archlinux there has been a big change:
https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-announcement/
if this project tracks archlinux but for arm the main change is that
" The [community] repository will be merged into [extra] and will therefore be empty after the migration."

is this gonna happen here too?
there is no news part on this website unlike the main archlinux site (@ https://archlinux.org/news).

Some change will be needed. Kevin is working on the specifics.

I think the repo is already updated to use the new repo (without community). But lately, I have no single update again (probably more than 1 week from now).

Is there some change again? Where can I follow the news for archlinuxARM?

There is no place to follow news, unfortunately. The Arch Linux ARM developers have been pretty hard to reach and opaque about the project for a while. I understand real life getting in the way, I understand mental health getting in the way (currently dealing with that myself with things I said I'd do), but, well, that's the reality.

Honestly, I don't understand how the project works :There had been 2 long periods (> 15 days) with no updates this year.
Because of the name and its affiliation with the x86/84 project, we are expecting to have update as soon as something in the opensource area changes.
My main concerns, apart from its low periods, which can be explained by many reasons, [b]all of them valid[/b], is the non-updating of the toolchain (glibc + binutils + gcc).
Especially since there's a repo on github that keeps track of all tool updates. (i.e. [url]https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/gcc/PKGBUILD[/url] ). :?
So I think what's hurting the project most is its lack of visibility. :(
They would benefit from clearly announcing their planning/roadmap, which would avoid long tirades like this one. ;)
