Julia 1.7 is extremely unstable for me, to the point of being unusable. Getting segfaults in some apps about 50% of the times. It’s been like that since pre-release days but I hoped the issue would go away in the final release.

Anything I can do and any way I can help fix these?

Example:

```julia

There are plenty of known bugs in the native version, especially segfaults and deadlocks. See [issue tracker](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/labels/apple%20silicon).  
Thats why it is only tier 3 support. I’d suggest to stick to the rosetta version for now…

Understood, thank you, I’ll do that.
