And the MIPS thread “right now” shows how much we would not want
to rely on prototype/evaluation boards.

How about not releasing arm64 with jessie, but making a snapshot of
unstable/arm64 (from debian-ports possibly) at that point and offering
that as “jessie-arm64”, like “etch-m68k” was done?

With less than a year to go, this sounds like a safe route, and will
lead to people not needing to rush things.
