FYI, An old, headless, raspberry pi (armel) with GPS and camera, on 
Debian testing, was being sensibly used for long-term, slow, time-lapse 
photography, where it was good enough for the intended purpose. Another 
pi was slated for print server duties, but was mostly just idling 
because the particular printer was not supported. Both stopped 
responding over the network after upgrades some months ago, so this 
decision wasn't involved; the problem was probably caused by systemd 
network interface renaming. The hope was to get them going again with a 
little debugging, or a re-install if necessary, as builds are still 
being made[1]. It's always sad to see support have to be dropped for old 
functioning hardware still sensibly serving purposes they can 
accomplish. But, understandable with the size growth required to support 
newer "better" hardware. Thanks for keeping them alive, and up to date, 
as long as they were.
