Comment 2 for bug 848154

I am going to VEHEMENTLY AND VIOLENTLY DISAGREE with this position.

There was a CONSCIOUS DECSION to BREAK good ARM (v6) support in favor of the Beagleboards etc..

Bad decision, period.

This should be about getting the ARM version on the MOST devices out there, and that means V6 support.

It was there up til Karmic, then it was pulled. This is a bug, the compilations need to be made for V6 and above, not the latest and greatest and slickest and for ONE DEVICE, Beagleboards.

Raspberry Pi is presenting a HUGE OPPORTUNITY for Canonical/Ubuntu to get into areas where it can make the most traction, and its GOING TO PASS YOU BYE! Compiling this for V6+ has benefits all the way around, and with the Raspberry Pi device, again, a HUGE OPPORTUNITY is at hand, and going to pass Canonical/Ubuntu bye.

Having a device like the Raspberry Pi seems to fit with everything that Canonical/Ubuntu is (or maybe that should be was) trying to achieve... getting Linux into the hands of students, developing areas, etc.. $35 board v. $150 board, thats a huge difference.

The Raspberry Pi could be the "gateway device" for many to move on to using larger full blown versions like Kubuntu on more advanced hardware.

 HUGE OPPORTUNITY is about to pass Canonical/Ubuntu bye!
