There are new kirkwood devices still being produced and my <2y old one (and still on sale in some places) is 2.0GHz one with 1GB RAM. Just pointing out that ARMv5 is less a certain generation of CPUs as such but a selection of instruction set by a chip manufacturer. It will of course become rarer over time. Thanks to all who have maintained armel so far, I'll be a happy user for the duration of stretch support. -Timo
