AWS provides the binary for RDS users, right? Why do you need to block on upstream for these improvements?

We aren't blocking on upstream for these improvements. You're right that it is easy to optimize only the engine builds that are executing via RDS deployments. But getting optimizations upstream as far as possible yields the maximum downstream effect. And we want open-source software to run exceptionally well on all Arm processors, including Graviton2, no matter who you get your binaries from, or if you build them yourself.
