As far as I can tell, that's not a question for LibreOffice, but for the distro packages.

Even with adjusted title, the request completely lacks any reasoning.

"I've seen someone did something; therefore, it suddenly became reasonable for TDF to spend substantial resources to providing packages for a particular architecture (but not others)".

Why? What that event means from the point of view of user demand for TDF-built packages (as opposed to distro-provided ones, which are the officially preferred method [1])? What does Rocky Linux has to do with that? What is the analysis that requires providing for exactly that architecture?
