To make a comparison:

Hope that helps clarify.
Raspberry PI are based on obsolete technology.
The RPi works fine for many people. 2.3 million have been sold.
I think we should be honest about the real reason: Either we have to
maintain two sets of packages or we have to make everyone on the newer
and faster armv7 suffer with unoptimized binaries, and we don't want
to do either of those things.
