Why IPFire does not run on all ARM hardware...

First, Michael, thank you for the excellent article. It was longer than
normal, but well worth the read. I now understand why the ARM stuff is
such a pain in the rear.

Some of the articles are definitely transient (ie, new release, stuff
like that), but articles like this are not. I was wondering if there is
a need to place that article (and possibly others like it) in the
documentation site. Under a special section?

I hope that comes across. It was you who started all that ARM stuff and
I am still very happy that we worked on it and that we made such a huge
progress so far, but facing these problems, there will be an end of
these good days.

May be it's a good idea to start a section and reference to the article
on the planet. But I thought it was a good idea writing this on the
planet, because the information on the planet ages a lot.
In a year, the situation about the ARM hardware could be completely
different and we usually are not able to keep the wiki as up to date as
it should be.

Hope the language was okay :)
