armel/armhf:
------------
* Undesirable to keep the hardware running beyond 2020. armhf VM
support uncertain. (DSA)

In short, the hardware (development boards) we're currently using to
build armel and armhf packages aren't up to our standards, and we
really, really want them to go away when stretch goes EOL (expected in
2020). We urge arm porters to find a way to build armhf packages in
VMs or chroots on server-class arm64 hardware.
If the concerns are mostly about the hardware not being rackable, there
is a rackable NAS by Netgear:

This seems to be out of stock and discontinued, unfortunately.
Anyway, I'm relatively sure, that I can convince my boss to sponsor/donate both armel and armhf hardware for Debian, if that is of any help. Or arm64 used in "32 bits mode".
