To be honest, if we're going to say that (non-arch devs only keeping a

non-supported architecture ports in a "fork" @ github or so.... I do not
see a real advantage of keeping them in the main repository if they only
sit there to rot (no insult intended).

The advantage would be that there might be kernel developers that care about ARM, and will update the port after their changes. If the ARM port is actually in the main repository, this will make this scenario much more likely.
