RISC-V support in Android just got a big setback

The Android Common Kernel is about to remove support for the RISC-V architecture, which is a big setback for RISC-V support in Android.

Our initial interpretation of these patches was that Google was preparing to kill off RISC-V support in Android since that was the most obvious conclusion. However, a spokesperson for Google told us this:
Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI).
