[fedora-arm] arm software floating point support going forward

[Jon Masters]

Derek,

It is less "powers that be" than a collaborative effort/decision. We do not have resources to justify keeping v5 alive but you are free to coordinate with others and pick it up, in the same way that Seneca are to own v6 support (maybe Seneca can even help with build system setup if you ask them). Do you have any interest in driving that?

You will find the ominous powers that be are in fact a bunch of us doing the work who are overloaded enough to keep just v7 and v8 on track :) For those who are devastated and have no v7 hardware, ping me off list and maybe I can look into getting a couple of v7 boards out there.

Jon.

I've mentioned multiple times my hope to keep kirkwood support in
Fedora, but alas it feels like the powers that be just don't care about
us *plug users.  :(   If I want to continue using my plugs I guess I'll
have to learn Debuntu.  :(
