This feels like Andy Tennenbaum's LINUX is OBSOLETE post from 30 years ago.

don't see how? the last section is pretty explicit:

> None of this is to say that RISC-V is doomed. As I said, I fully expect it to take over the space currently occupied by [...] Much like the linux kernel -- the price is right.

  • It's interesting that this quote closed it for you, because that quote is what triggered my take.

    I read that as a hat tip to the legendary argument, and a partial adoption of Linus's rebuttal, “Linux wins heavily on points of being available now.” Besides the general tone, I guess.
