>M2 upbringing was like 10 hours onstream, M3/M4 would not take any longer.

You have NFI what you're talking about. There were major architectural changes in M series chips between Avalanche/Blizzard (M2) and Everest/Sawtooth (M3).

That is not true. Apple claims this for PR purposes, but Marcan and Lina said on stream that the changes are not that big at all - Apple does not completely change their architecture ever. There may be bigger changes on the GPU side, but that does not affect the base upbringing (earlier Asahi versions did not have any GPU support at all, only software rendering) - also that would be work for Alyssa, not for Hector.
