I mostly agree with you about BigCo's finances. But some industrial- or military-spec ARMv7 core running a critical embedded system or two, in 2038? Twenty-yea

I mostly agree with you about BigCo's finances. But some industrial- or military-spec ARMv7 core running a critical embedded system or two, in 2038? Twenty-year design lifespans (often with servicing and minor design updates) are definitely not unheard of, and successful systems often outlive their design lifespan.
