Generally the documentation is aimed at people using releases. For a RPI[23], I would recommend 8.1 and earvm7hf-el. > There's https://www.invisible.ca/arm/ which is terrific.

Perhaps, but that's solving a problem we are trying to get rid of, which is needing different builds for each hardware flavor. But having an interactive wizard of "what kind of computer do I have" leading to the right wiki page would be neat.
