Even beginning to discuss that the old stack should not be used with new
architectures is a difficult discussion. But the x86_64 and RISC-V don't
make sense to use with it. So drawing a circle around what should continue
to work and what should be discouraged is important.

This is one of the main points of maintaining open source. We don't have a
master list of paying users to base decisions on and need users to be open
so we can plan correctly.

I may have missed the beginning of this thread. What architecture and bsp
are you using?
