I tried to start such kind of discussion but seems not many people cares
about it yet.

>From my point of view, I'd see it will be limited to 2 per each architecture
- low end for more adopter and higher one for performance:
x86: standard i586/i686 and lpia (as MeeGo is mainly for mobile device and
64-bit support isn't very important so far)
ARM: armv5 w/o VFP and armv7 with VFP (of course both are armel)

Currently we have Atom(lpia) and armv5 already.

Actually I feel more versions of binary kernels should be available.

I don't think it will be very difficult to support/test multiple binary
repository because we have a community behind MeeGo :-)

Thanks.
