The nice thing is that software and work on a RISC-V toolchain can now be much more common for vendors that elect to use RISC-V, though it remains to be seen how well the actual manufactured chip variation gets supported like instruction set extensions, peripherals, and configurations for many cores. ARM had some motivation to help ease the customization pain for tooling for their IP licensees, so I'm curious if RISC-V support will be more like ARM or more like early UNIX vendors.
