But the question is why would you run 'armel' binaries on 'armhf' architecture (outside a chroot - within multiarch qualified paths) as a user (not developing or building for 'armel'), which is the use case of being able to run 'armel' binaries if you already have 'armhf'. Of course as a developer, you safely work inside chroots/cross chroots/sysroots.
