Great! I'll try it out this weekend.

The image size is double the size of the 6.x release, I'm guessing because it bundles armv6 and armv7 ?

bmarkus:
Not exactly double but bigger, there are two kernels and two initrd files. Good point is that when running only one of them are used as before, no unneded files loaded to RAM thanks to filtering (conditional sections) in config.txt
