Right. The biggest challenge here is integrating the isolation by
virtualization without harming user experience too much. If/once we
have that, using x86 or ARM virtual machines might be a detail.
We have no clear long-term plans wrt. isolation by virtualization.
This topic raises many questions, for example because I doubt we'll
want to raise hardware requirements significantly, so requiring VT-x
and/or VT-d is probably a non-starter for the primary use cases
supported by Tails. We're in the process of organizing a meeting with
Qubes OS, Whonix and Subgraph; my personal top priority there will be
to discuss this very topic, and get a better idea of what we could do,
how, and when.
