No. Stuff using armhf now could run a v6+hf port, and I think it's a
shame we baselined on v7 for this reason, but that decision has passed.
Raspbian seems to be fine, I kind-of think it's a shame that Debian
doesn't have the exposure and mindshare it would have had if it was
the blessed port for rPi itself… but like I said, I'm not going to be
working on it either way.

Last I checked I don't have the source for the microcode for my Intel
amd64 CPU, either.

I don't disagree (although I think the bottom-most bullet point is
superfluous.)
