While their cert list isn't a bustling hive of activity, a ten year tech lag isn't the rule. Raptor Computing got a power9 motherboard certified only two years after the chip's launch. That seems pretty fast to me, but then... I am typing this on a 12 year old thinkpad. Hopefully they don't weaken their certification criteria in an effort to generate more listings - but that binary blob test balloon they floated a while ago isn't a good sign.
