Just wanted to get your input on this matter.
On second thought, let's just wait until we have a user request for this
where the user is able to actually use and test the functionality.

Alexander, I've re-read your reply in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842617#32

If in the feature you actually plan to use the armhf bits on say the
Raspberry Pi 2, I'm happy to recondider.

Regards,
Michael
