I've included this text with slight adjustments, thanks.

The armel release candidate is downloadable from the same location as the
release candidate for i386 - does this really need to be called out
explicitly, given that this was already the case for 9.10?

The exception is OMAP, which is a late-landing best-effort release and not
something we're supporting formally - and the latest test results from
Oliver indicate we don't even have an installable OMAP netbook image for RC.
Unless there are specific reasons we need to mention the OMAP build, I don't
think we should draw attention to it at all here.  Do you disagree?

Ubuntu Netbook is already not an LTS, so I don't think there's a need for
further disclaimers.

Thanks,
