And I still disagree with this change and don't see any gain with it.
armel is a legacy architecture and people using it don't expect it to
break anymore. Why do you forcefully want to break things?
If people want something better than armel, they will just buy recent ARM
hardware and upgrade to armhf which provides much more hardware power
and capabilities (OpenJDK Hotspot, Rust and so on).
