I think you misread my comment this as an anti-RISC-V shill. I'm just saying there are challenges which were known in the past 10+ years since RISC-V was invented, and will still be here in the next 20. FWIW I think the direction the ecosystem has taken is not that bad (yet).

Yeah, I was one of the naysayers initially. And in retrospect the biggest advantage of Raspberry was its price. It sold at a price-point where no one could compete, and that helped overcome most other disadvantages, in a self-sustaining snowball.

And that might very well be the case for RISC-V as well.
