> The RPi seems to intentionally lag around 5 years behind the Arm roadmap so maybe the RPi 7 will have Armv9 in 2027.

The chance they'll have stuff using RISC-V in 2027 is definitely above zero. It's easy to forget that the Raspberry Pi Foundation have been RISC-V Foundation members for years.

Fingers crossed! A popular raspi-like sbc is definitely something that could boost RISC-V popularity. They already exist, yes, but are expensive for their power.

LowRisc.org has some Rpi folks on their team, and they seem to be chasing features (minion cores, for example) that would be good for the Rpi.
