No. Stuff using armhf now could run a v6+hf port, and I think it's a shame we baselined on v7 for this reason, but that decision has passed. Raspbian seems to be fine, I kind-of think it's a shame that Debian doesn't have the exposure and mindshare it would have had if it was the blessed port for rPi itself… but like I said, I'm not going to be working on it either way. > The info at https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi#Raspberry_Pi_issues > indicates RPi specifically not relevant to spend Debian resources on. Last I checked I don't have the source for the microcode for my Intel amd64 CPU, either. > If you disagree with the bleak picture that text draws, please consider > adding more info there. I don't disagree (although I think the bottom-most bullet point is superfluous.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
