@ncopa@fosstodon.org In the embedded/industrial space I'm still seeing a surprising amount of ARM9 and expect those to go on quite a while, but that'd be v5, so even older. v7 seems like a more sensible target for Alpine 32bit support than trying to keep that /and/ v6 on life support together.

@updn@chaos.social @ncopa@fosstodon.org That's my situation here too… a couple of Freescale i.MX286 machines (ARM926EJ-S / ARMv5). Debian is dropping support for this platform with v13 (Trixie) being the last to support ARMv5 (what they call `armel`). I currently have one running Gentoo, but was looking to migrate to AlpineLinux. Looks like it'll be Gentoo for the foreseeable future.
