That's really cool, I had no idea!

Did a quick search on this, and I believe the Linux portion of this is the responsibility of the "UNIX-Class Platform Specification Task Group" [1]. They seem to be quite active, which I'm reading as a sign things are progressing.

Right you are, that's the group responsible. It's something of a priority for RISC-V international right now, because of exactly this worry.

RISC-V International is sometimes really bad at communicating that it's working on these problems. But odds on, they usually are.
