They have improved a LOT with their upstream work but they view the
SoC that the nano is based upon as now basically EOL so it's more if
the work also aligns with the newer SoCs they're focused on. The newer
Jetpack releases use much newer kernels with a lot more things that
are upstream but the 5.x and later releases only support Xavier/Orin.
