Many people would love to see arm32 go away. Market is still against us
and arm32 is still sold and used.
There could be one change done to armhf: enabling NEON by default as
Tegra2 is long time gone. On the other side: why adding new work for
port which has decreasing amount of users each year?
AArch64 could gain with move to ARM v8.2 so we get Atomics. But the
amount of v8.0 devices is holding everyone from making such move.
