Or, what if it just became irrelevant. It's had a great run. But honestly ARM has shown plenty of versatility and power. While being licensable unlike x86. And things like riscv have similar of not better potential.

    Its always going to be relevant, even if only emulated, simply because of how many code bases are stuck on x86/x86-64.

    Open sourcing it and all of its extensions solves the licensing problems of not only itself, but Arm, while providing a battle tested architecture with decades of maturity.

    Also imagine the fun FPGA consoles could have with that?
