FWIW, I likewise think we should shoot for promotion of armv7hl to
primary, leaving armv5 (or armv6) secondary. Numerous packages with
atomics issues magically begin working this way. Additionally, in the
timeframe we're talking about v7 is going to be the overwhelming
majority of systems out there.
One extra thought: If we move from armv5tel to armv6hl for the Pi's
sake, there's still a big gain: A single koji builder can be used for
both armv7hl and armv6hl builds. Supporting armv5tel means we need to
provide separate builders for the alternate ABI, raising the overall
number of builders required.
