I think the biggest concern of bb.org, is that we don't end up in a similar situation to the omap3. Where dsplink/etc never went mainline, thus 5 years later, we still need to run the 2.6.32 psp to even utilize the omap3's dsp. Just the classic.. burn me once... ;) For the am57x, since the foundation rpmsg/remoteproc is mainline, we should be in good shape...
