smells like linus thinks there is going to be an ever increasing tech debt, and honestly, i think i agree with him on that one.

RISCV is likely going to eventually overstep it’s role in someplaces, and bits and pieces of it will become archaic over time.

The gap between hardware and software level abstraction is huge, and that’s really hard to fill properly. You just need a strict design criteria to get around that one.

I’m personally excited to see where RISCV goes, but maybe what we truly need is a universal software level architecture that can be used on various different CPU architectures providing maximum flexibility.
