> ARM/RISC-V would be interesting once that hardware is standardized.

Could you elaborate on this? Both ARM and RISC-V have standardized their hardware feature and different target versions.

Is it more on the iterative angle given X86-64 now moves very slowly?

While the ISAs are (mostly) standardized, the broader hardware support is a mishmash.

ACPI is available, but not widely supported.

Some hardware uses DeviceTree.

Other hardware just expects you to know what devices are connected and how to interact with them.
