I like your thinking and we'd love to do it... Actually building RPi images (and/or supporting ARM in general) has been on our todo list for some time. I even started work on it last year but hit a wall as I was not able to get my initial image to boot on a Pi (I kept getting stuck on the "rainbow" screen). I got called away to work on the v14.0 release; which then flowed into the v14.1 release. I've nearly finished with that but there are other priorities which demand my attention before I will get a chance to get back to it. So unfortunately it is mothballed and I have never had time to try to work out what my issue might have been.
So I am willing. In fact I'm more than willing; I'm keen! But I have no idea when I might get some time to get back to this...
If you have an interest and would like to have a play yourself, then all of the components required should be on GitHub. Although it may require building RPi compatible packages for the TurnKey custom software (which could turn into a bit of a chicken and egg type scenario).
I also dumped all my notes and code snippets in a repo in my github. It's a horrible mess (and TBH a little embarrassing) but I didn't want my experience to go completely to waste.
I imagine that without quite a bit of background experience and knowledge of TurnKey the learning curve will be very steep. Some of the software that we use internally is on GitHub but not well documented. There may also be some missing ingredients (due to the curse of knowledge) but I don't think so.
If you (or anyone) wants to try and push this ahead I will provide as much support as I can.
