It's just that its state is unknown (it might be not working). > > How about a big fat warning to users of ARM OABI in 0.9.27 > before it is removed once and for all an 0.9.28? Sure, removing it after 0.9.27 makes sense. And as Christian said it's indeed a good idea to deprecate it first. I can push a commit to add a warning and we remove it just after the release in the mob branch.
