No objections. AFAICT, the popularity of Debian/ARM is due to the recent crop of IXP42x's. The oldest hardware that I have is ARM720, which is also v4. OTOH, we've carried 386 for a long time and there are so few of those around anymore. I'd prefer not worrying about the v3 machines, but our policy tends to be inclusive. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
