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.
