If RISC-V is going to be significant in datacenters in five to ten years, as someone claimed[1], there's a lot of prep work that's going to be needed. Where are the Linux distributions? Where are the reasonable computers for developers to use and for eg Debian package builders? I look at how far ARM64 isn't on all of that, and it's well ahead of RISC-V.
