Thanks for testing.
As I mentioned on IRC, we can't "push it into stretch" without a point
release, and the whole point of this exercise was to avoid having to
schedule another short-notice point release.
However, assuming KiBi has no objections, it sounds like we can go
ahead with getting the -9 ABI kernel into p-u in preparation for the
9.9 point release in a few weeks time. Assuming I haven't missed
anything, the d-i version in p-u should continue to be suitable for
installing stretch on armhf in the meantime (at least until the p-u
freeze hits, at which point d-i will get rebuilt against the new
kernel).
Regards,
Adam
