And introduce an artificial limitation for the sake of the compatibility with something that we don't even support yet? That doesn't sound like a
good plan at all.

+1, please use ARMv7 as the common sane base for ARM stuff just as we
require Pentium for x86. Supporting anything older is of no use and will
only make things slower than they should, and more complex to get
working.

I think the more important question is that if the Haiku kernel / OS is ARMv7,
will ARMv6 binaries still work?

(For example, we have rpi1 board target ARMv6 and rpi2 board target ARMv7.
 Would the ARMv6 packages work on the rpi2 builds?)
