Hi all,

I doupt anybody is sensibly using armel nowdays under bookworm, so my

course of action for unblock the bookworm-security update is:

FYI, An old, headless, raspberry pi (armel) with GPS and camera, on
Debian testing, was being sensibly used for long-term, slow, time-lapse
photography, where it was good enough for the intended purpose. Another
pi was slated for print server duties, but was mostly just idling
because the particular printer was not supported. Both stopped
responding over the network after upgrades some months ago, so this
decision wasn't involved; the problem was probably caused by systemd
network interface renaming. The hope was to get them going again with a
little debugging, or a re-install if necessary, as builds are still
being made[1]. It's always sad to see support have to be dropped for old
functioning hardware still sensibly serving purposes they can
accomplish. But, understandable with the size growth required to support
newer "better" hardware. Thanks for keeping them alive, and up to date,
as long as they were.
