I think it'd be nice to have an ARM version of Tails, at least one that ran on Raspberry Pis & ARM Macs.
Bonus points if the same image could run on that *or* x86, as then people would be able to use
"the machine available to them". Then users could use a wide variety of machines.
(You might have to re-download any specialized apps installed on the
Persistent Storage for the "not currently loaded architecture.)

Whether or not doing that is *worth* the effort is obviously debatable, but I thought I'd raise it.
