When I was growing up Riksmål was far more conservative than what I spoke despite the fact that I spoke fairly conservative Bokmål, and it was still somewhat more conservative than how I wrote. I've not paid much attention to Riksmål, but I'm vaguely aware they've moderated themselves quite a bit.
However a quick check with Det Norske Akademi's dictionary shows that both my spoken and written Norwegian is still not full match for Riksmål, though I see they've pretty much "surrendered" and even accepted some -a endings, so it's getting close-ish.
Maybe in another couple of decades.
