I see, as I've been looking at Pi Zero stuff, I got the impression
that they were all ARM V.6, but I guess it's just that a lot of the
software is built to be compatible with ARM V.6 as a common minimum
spec.

Noted though that _I_ would still want armel with my Pi Zero W, As it
has the same BCM2835 chip (ARM V.6) used in the original (pre RPI2)
Pis. armhf is apparantly for ARM V.7:
