> For 1. it's impossible to know the numbers of users currently Maybe we can't "know" that number, but I think we can at least assess wheth= er it's still popular or not by answering some downstream questions: - For each package, how long does it take to build? - For each package, how many times was it fetched by month? That right there will at least tell us a rough lower barrier of the time th= e community was saved. - Are those numbers steadily going down? - How far along the tail of the distribution are we? It's far from accurate, but when compared across architectures we can proba= bly make some sort of reasonable assessment about the general impact of no = longer supporting armv6, which is better than throwing up our arms (pun ver= y much intended) and saying it's impossible to know. --Dan Kotowski
