Hello all,

of course I can all but agree that support for "exotic" hardware is very
desirable, especially since, as Mark pointed out, we would like it to become

If people want to look at armhf, one of the donated Novena boards is currently
running in my living room, under the name of redhill.guixsd.org. I could
of course create accounts for Guix developers who want to have access to
