Ah, I believe there's a misunderstanding coming from misreading of my statement: what I wrote is that the _reason to upgrade_ would be the _belief_ that they are better, and that if you restrict yourself to _certain measures_, they probably can, by throwing more money at the problem. I hoped that he latter part of my comment probably makes it rather clear that Google wouldn't actually be better as far as I'm concerned. Even from purely technical perspective, I'm fairly sure Debian is willing to support many architectures Google will ignore.
