Absolutely.
I've uploaded 3.5.0 to Debian Unstable and it's built on all 19 Linux
architectures we build for. That seems like a lot to me. Cross-platform
support doesn't happen by accident.
I'd also like to take special note of the long support for existing releases.
Because of the consistently high quality of postfix updates, we do post-Debian
release updates for our stable users. We've been able to provide them with a
continuously improving experience through delivering these updates (a Debian
oldstable user can install 3.1.15 from our repositories and 3.4.10 should be
available for stable in a few days). I really appreciate your continuing
commitment to quality.
