That was planned for 12.0, but from an outsider's perspective, will
probably happen in 13.0

HardenedBSD does with hbsd-update. We provide a package repo as well.
The only exploit mitigation not in HardenedBSD 12-CURRENT/arm64 that
is enabled in 12-CURRENT/amd64 is SafeStack. Otherwise, complete
feature parity, even with non-Cross-DSO CFI.

HardenedBSD has generic arm64 nightly builds of 12-CURRENT:
http://jenkins.hardenedbsd.org/builds/HardenedBSD-CURRENT-arm64-LATEST/

We also have periodic builds for the RPI3:

And periodic builds for the Pine64-LTS:

Thanks,
