This will be in addition to the armv6 MACHINE_ARCH we have today. This will allow us to create a package set optimized for armv7 as well as armv6. While it is true the RPI 1 is the only system that needs armv6 binaries, it's quite popular and the Raspberry Pi folks keep creating new variants with the same chip. It would also let us get the package stuff spun up and working before we mess with armv6. This would also separate the fate of armv6 and armv7 support at a later time, but the weak consensus I've heard appears to be that the time isn't yet right to discuss retiring armv6 support...
