I don't agree, I'm afraid. I understand that Pi users who want Debian would like vmdebootstrap to support building images for the Pi, but on the other hand, for me, not having to add features to a code base that is an unmaintainable mess is more important. I'd prefer Pi users to help get Pi support in vmdb2 instead. Also, given that it's my goal to get vmdebootstrap removed from Debian sooner rather than later, I think it'd be cruel to add a Pi feature now, and then yank it away in the next instant. There will be no new features in vmdebootstrap. -- I want to build worthwhile things that might last. --joeyh
