We support ~5 arm versions, and most of those can run softfloat, softfp, and hardfloat, all of which need testing. We are working on revising the stabilization requirements to be less stringent, but we are not splitting the arm team into 15 teams. > I think this would be beneficial because of not all developers that want > to help with arm have or what all the sub-arches necessary.
