AArch64 is a very clean ISA. From an architectural point of view, I wouldn't be upset if AArch64 eroded away x86-64.
Of course, I don't want to sacrifice competition. It'd be awesome to see Intel and ARM competing in features, performance, power, and price on a simple target for compilers and programmers.
(Yes, I know as a practical matter x86-64 will never go away; it's simply that I like the direction the market is going.)
