Great news that they are now using ARM v7 ISA. That means that real Debian can be used instead of Raspbian so hopefully we should see more packages focused on embedded Linux making their way back into mainline Debian. With an RPi 2 device tree, I'll be able to pop my N900 Debian SD card into it and use the same Debian installation with an HD display and a full keyboard and mouse.
