And the MIPS thread â??right nowâ?? shows how much we would not want
to rely on prototype/evaluation boards.

How about not releasing arm64 with jessie, but making a snapshot of
unstable/arm64 (from debian-ports possibly) at that point and offering
that as â??jessie-arm64â??, like â??etch-m68kâ?? was done?
With less than a year to go, this sounds like a safe route, and will
lead to people not needing to rush things.
