Bug#1111010: release.debian.org: phase out armel for forky



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
User: debian-arm@lists.debian.org
Usertags: armel

The release notes for trixie announced that it would be the last release 
for armel.

Now that forky is open, would it be possible to start removing armel 
from the lists of architectures that "matter"? For example, this could 
allow packages whose buildability regresses on armel (usually due to 
lack of atomic ops) to migrate to testing, without needing ftp team 
intervention to clean up their old binaries.

In my case this request was prompted by looking at src:dxvk, which was 
buildable on armel in trixie but has regressed in experimental 
("undefined reference to `__atomic_fetch_sub_8'"), and at this stage of 
armel's life cycle it doesn't seem useful to spend time on fixing that.

Thanks,
