#3Red Hat announced RISC-V yesterday with RHEL 10. So this seems rather expected.

Even to support one board, they'd need the whole build / testing infrastructure for RISC-V. Likely adding more boards is booing to be easy now, and any architecture-specific regressions, easier to spot and fix timely.

They could easily support the Pine64 Star64 board as well, the VisionFive2 build of u-boot works on the Star64 too.

For a distro,just building packages for an architecture is notable support-wise. Those with custom firmware and kernels can pair them with the rocky 10 userspace.

Even better title: Rocky will take the RHEL work and rebrand and sell the boards at a discount from China and claim a win and that they're being attacked by IBM.

#10I understand why people use RH and Rocky and even Oracle: the rpm wranglers. However its not for me.
My earliest mainstream distro was RH when they did it just for fun (pre IBM) and then I slid slightly sideways towards Mandrake. I started off with Yggdrassil.
I have to do jobs involving RH and co and its just a bit of a pain dealing with elderly stuff. Tomcat ... OK you can have one from 1863. There is a really good security back port effort but why on earth start off with a kernel that is using a walking stick.
Perhaps I am being unkind but for me the RH efforts are (probably) very stable and a bit old.
It's not the distro itself either. The users seem to have snags with updating it.
I (very generally) find that RH shops are the worst at [redacted]
