Yes, there is such an issue because some hardware vendors provide
closed libraries that use soft-FP. It was the case e.g. for i.MX6
(audio/video CODEC and GPU libraries), but they now provide hard-float
binaries IIRC. So such a change should be checked on a per-platform
basis.

Yes, I think that it would be a sane default, and it would still be
possible to set EABI for a specific platform for which EABIhf would
not apply.

Best regards,
Benoît
