It might be a good idea to have a 3 year gap between 2. and 3. mipsel/bookworm is (security) supported by Debian until mid-2026. Currently all MIPS buildds are shared between mips64el and mipsel. Separate build infrastructures with differently configured buildds running on different types of hardware between unstable/experimental and oldstable/stable for the same architecture is something that might not be a good idea. > Mark cu Adrian
