That's an understandable choice path. In my case, which is not atypical, I have an old board, I need software for that old board. When I go to a newer CPU using hardware design, I will skip all the way to arm64. But until then, I have to support the old board. "Kind of old" support is of no value to me since the old board's CPU is a done deal (for the time being). That was the other choice path, which as you say would have meant dropping some packages. It goes without saying that I don't need all the packages. So if I use Debian for this old board, as opposed to what I am using now, it must be stretch.
