I see that there is newly spiffed up Allwinner wiki info! I last paid attention to RPI a few years ago and am about to install a machine or two. It would be really nice if the RPI page https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/ explained about the RPI3, and whether 7, 8, and current work. (My impression is that 8 and current are fine on RPI3, but not 7.) At this point I am not finding 7 of much interest for new installs unless there is concern for production stability. But I am unclear if there are good reasons to run current instead of 8 on a PI3, if what I want to do is random normal stuff (use a USB disk to be a semi-NAS), and GPIO, including I2C, for attached sensors. Overall, I'd rather stick to 8 on machines that I want to use (vs test current on).
