Folks are starting to experiment with non-x86 hardware for their primary machines (in particular 64-bit ARM laptops like the Olimex one and PowerPC workstations like the Talos) so at some point it might be useful to enable arm64/ppc64el. In addition these two are slowly becoming more popular server architectures. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
