I am late to the party but as i mentioned a couple times on debian-mips already i'd like to keep mipsel as a debian-port - and i'd like to revert away from mips32r2 back to mips2/mips3 - That change (with stretch) basically dropped all of the supported platforms formerly supported without a good reason - mips32r2 cpus would have been able to run mips2 code. The now supported platforms are basically non existent or available for the normal user. So with that change we basically killed 90% of the Debian/mipsel users/community e.g. Siemens RM series, Cobalt Cube/RAQ, Decstation R4k and the like which are now all stuck with pre-Stretch Debian Releases.
