So it depends what you are using the box for.
I think it's worth bearing in mind the size of the userbase here,
something in arm probably doesn't get tested as much as something in
i386.  Same amount of time maybe but less actual usage.
That is true, and hence the chance of being the first person to hit a regression is going to be higher on arm* testing than on i386/amd64 testing.

On the other hand while arm64 scraped into the jessie release it only barely did so. At the time of the jessie release the *only* arm64 hardware available to us was internal arm devboards and a bit of server hardware. So afaict arm64 jessie never really got any end-user testing.
