just another armel-debian user here, running in an old intel es4000 since 2006.

Fairly late, but just to avoid the impression there aren't any left:
Yes, here.
But that's not an objection against plans in Debian kernel and/or d-i,
I'm using my own kernel, and should I ever have the need of a new
installation, I know how to debootstrap and the rest.
Besides, the hardware is a Seagate DockStar, so
Architecture: armv5tel
Byte Order: Little Endian
CPU(s): 1
On-line CPU(s) list: 0
Vendor ID: Marvell
Model name: Feroceon-88FR131
and 128 Mbytes of RAM. Running Debian stable already requires some hacks
to not end up in thrashing, I might do a presentation "Running Debian on
small systems" some day about it.
In summary, I'm glad Debian keeps supporting this device - but I'm
aware the good times are in the past and it will very likely become
e-waste before the hardware dies. If not Debian ends the support, the
Linux kernel will.
