@pmatilai someone brought to my attention today there is various confusion as 
to what 'armv8' actually means (for a package type).

Does it mean traditional 32-bit ABI using instructions available on an 'ARMv8' 
processor?

or does it mean using ILP32 ABI using all of the aarch64 instructions?

In the former case, the ABI is compatible with armv7 and older..  in the later 
case, it's a new ABI.

If you can make it clear ARMv8 is just the compatible with everything else 
version -- then it's just another marker...  someone can add something new for 
ilp32 mode, if it is ever implemented.
