Still, Debian has to rely on stable support in kernel and toolchain.  
Once kernel and toolchain stop supporting¹ an architecture there is 
nothing that Debian could do about that with its limited personpower and 
resources.

¹ there is more than one way to do that, either pull support officially, 
letting people know about that, or just let the respective code rot away 
slowly because noone tests any more
