Just to be clear, the rpi2 is based on a ARMv7. My rpi2 is running
devuan jessie nicely, as I have posted here a few months ago.

I think that depends on what one expects. If someone gets one of
these, and hopes it can replace a modern desktop/laptop, then that
person will indeed be frustrated. I wanted to use mine as a router
possibly running i2p and freenet as well, and I thought when I was
getting it I had a good understanding of its limitations. It does the
router part very well as I expected. It ran i2p well enough also,
though I have since transferred that to my laptop for reasons unrelated
to performance. The freenet node ran fine when it was idle. However
putting some downloads in the queue made the freenet node slow to
respond, and it crashed once a day or so.. I had hoped all of that
would be otherwise, but am not surprised by the reality of things. The
main job for my rpi2 is to be a router, and it does that very well so far.
