share/man/man7/arch.7
164–166	Does it really support v6 images? IIRC, there's a bug that talks about how armv6 isn't listed in the right places for things like poudriere to work, and the uname is wrong. Maybe it's better to just move it to 'unsupported' even if it might kinda-sorta work.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Wed, Jun 19, 5:21 PM

share/man/man7/arch.7
164–166	Good point. How about just dropping the specific older references: `will support execution of armv7 binaries if the CPU implements AArch32 execution state, however older arm binaries aren't supported.`

share/man/man7/arch.7
164–166	Yes. That works.

I have a large patch that removes everything armv6 I found. I'm working through it to split to reviewable chunks (this was one & looks identical to my change)
