Please do not throw wheezy support under the bus just yet, there are 
those of us still running it because the app it has to run, which milks 
the cash cow, LinuxCNC, runs best on an i386 install, even if the cpu 
itself is 64 bitter! The 64 bit architecture may be able to do more, but 
it simply takes too long to respond to an IRQ due its its increased data 
to swap for a context switch. A 5 microsecond increase in that latency 
can ruin parts AND BREAK TOOLS by causing motor stalls where once there 
were none.

There is progress being made on a 64 bit stretch version, but some users 
may be required to spend additional money bringing in a consultant 
because they are machinists, not computer/electronics whizzes, to up 
grade the machines controller interfacing to actually do good work with 
the new 64 bit stuff.

I am doing it, but there's more than $200 in interfacing cards just so I 
can do it with a $32 Raspi-3b running a jessie 64 bit install.
