I'm a bit surprised you bring this up now, when the question at hand is, whether to add armel+armhf as new supported architectures to Wheezy LTS. Because, also for doing Squeeze LTS for i386 and amd64, Debian machines were used, with - I'd say - consens of the project that this is ok, IOW: there was specific authorisation to do so. There's another Debian project which is in a similar situation: official Debian images for cloud services, made on Debian hardware. There's a commercial purpose too. (And then we get into the blurry area of all the consultants and freelancers and employees working on paid time on Debian stuff using Debian ressources…) And while I think we absolutly should discuss these things (dc16?) and probably revisited the DMUP (written how long ago?) this will all take time and right now we have a somewhat pressing issue at hand: Can we add armel/armhf to Wheezy LTS *now*? LTS starts in 3 days. -- cheers, Holger
