And the main question: Does this really concern that much packages? If the number would be countable on one hand, it should really be considerd. This sort of thing has been on our wish list since I started working with Sage, anyway, and the problem is not so much the number of packages

Yes we do, but not as completely as x86. For instance the last version that has an arm binary in the download page is 5.13. The Wolfram language, which is something like a strpped version of Mathematica, is included in the raspbian distribution. So, would raspberry pi support fit into the

I don't know. Is it harder to support a full Sage on a variety of different platforms which are needed, or to make a reduced Sage, where testing of the sub-distribution can be fully contained, in the main framework? Additionally to that, we have to keep in mind that while sage grows in

Again, as this thread is titled User Survey, let's say that the survey question might be: Do you *care* about support for Sage on ARM devices such as Raspberry Pi, etc.? Or *quick* usage on Internet-enabled devices that may not be able to run Sage very quickly (i.e., continuing updates
