+  <h1>arm64 and ppc64el ports</h1>
+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      'arm64' architecture was added in Linux 3.7, but was not yet
+      usable, and no real hardware was available at the time
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Upstream Linux arm64 kernel, and Debian packages, should now run
+      on emulators and real hardware
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      'powerpc' architecture has been available for many years,
+      but didn't support kernel running little-endian
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Linux 3.13 added little-endian kernel suport, along with new
+      userland ELF ABI variant - we call it ppc64el
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Both ports now being bootstrapped in unstable and are candidates
+      for jessie release
