Nope.

tl;dr: armv6 packages will stop, we'll stop doing -current armv6 snapshots,
we'll move armv6 to
an 'extra' architecture in universe for stable/14. post stable/14 we'll
tear down support for armv6
in base and later in ports. Ports mention armv6 ~500 times, maybe 1/4 of
them also mention armv7,
and the vast majority of them mark things as broken in some way (though
there are exceptions).
