as far as I know, yes. Though I would want to use some other arm64 boards as 
well, to have hardware variety right from the start. for example:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/RasPi-Angreifer-Odroid-C2-Schneller-
etwas-teurer-aber-ohne-WLAN-3123182.html also has an arm64 cpu, but twice 
as much ram (2gb) as the raspi3 and 2 ghz cores instead of 1.2 ghz ones on the 
raspi3. *buntu also has a new arm64 developer/reference board. There will be 
more in 3 months too.

I think we'd need 10-12 of such boards for a start, not sure if we still have 
Debian funds to buy those (but I almost think so… Vagrant?) - providing we 
would find someone interested+able to host these. Would you (Axel) be able 
too?


cheers,
	Holger
