Wow, how wonderful that the SoC you use has mainline support.
There are many different decisions that go into platform choice, only
one of which is the kernel version.
Until now the kernel version wasn't even that important since you could
always upgrade the userspace and keep the old kernel.

I agree, the debian armhf ports are wonderful and I use them where I
can. With devicetree becoming more and more common, the mainline kernel
is supporting more SoC than ever before.
