If we're talking about "new hardware platforms" --- yes, any vendor or vendor ecosystem may drop support for anything at any time in future products. If ARM Ltd's next core is a mechanical abacus, it will not run Linux.
- rowanG077 5y agoRight! So whether there's unofficial or official support. It doesn't buy you anything.
- mlyle 5y agoUnofficial support: you may get locked out at any time, even within that product's lifecycle. Official support: if you get locked out within this product's lifecycle, they will have to compensate you.
