..and, setting up this new port/arch that needs its own
correct name, shouldn't we name it correctly? ;o)

..e.g. "ARMv6+VFPU2"? Or "rpi-1"?

..is the Raspberry Zero hardware way different,
i.e. not ARMv6+VFPU2 since it doesn't boot off
Raspian Wheezy?

..acconding to the foundation, it's "A(?)+ minus camera" etc
and clocked 30% faster, which might cause a need for slightly
higher cpu etc voltage settings.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
