With the support of Docker manifest list, there is no need to explicitly add the tag for the architecture to use.
When a docker run command or docker service command or docker stack command is executed, docker checks which architecture is required and verifies if it is available in the docker repository. If it does, docker pulls the matching image for it.

Therefore all tags regarding Raspberry PI's are dropped.

For example: suppose you are running on a Raspberry PI 3B, which has `arm32v7` as architecture. Then just run the following command to pull the image (tagged by `5.0.0-beta.6-24`), and run the container.
