that would be great, but I think realistically one cannot blame Debian for this 
- RT-PREEMPT on arm has not seen as much exposure as I'd like to feel 
comfortable with it, and results have been mixed as far as I can tell. For 
instance, there's an RT-PREEMPT branch for the BeagleBone kernel, done on 
customer request, and it looks like it has next to no uptake and has fallen 
behind quickly.

There is a huge potential industrial demand for FOSS RT on embedded (i.e. 
beyond Wind River, QNX et al), like from automotive, traffic control, medical - 
but my gut feeling is it will remain 'potential' until the stakeholders come 
around to back one of the efforts underway such that tangible results on a 
predictable timeline are likely. It might also be a bit of a sales problem of 
some of those projects.

Until this shakes out I think the order of the day is to keep all options open. 

Maybe Nicholas can chime in with a perspective?
