I haven't been keeping up to date with RISC-V happenings lately but does this imply that it'll be easier for distros to have live images that can install to arbitrary RISC-V machines like we're used to on x86? If so, that's exciting!

Yes. The experience will be equal or better over the IBM PC-derived platform, by design.

PC was an accidental platform, RISC-V platform spec is an intentional (and very informed) one.
