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.
