So much for the “RISC-V isn’t ready” crowd—this is exactly how niche architectures survive: stubborn devs, a loaned Milk-V box, and a middle finger to pragmatism. Honestly, dropping it now would’ve been a waste. If anything, this feels like a test run for how the indie Linux world will carry RISC-V until the big players stop waffling.

That's not what's happening here though? With skepticism, they're willing to give it another try because someone loaned them the needed hardware. They're being pragmatic, and they're not stubborn about supporting RISC-V, as they indicate that if there are more problems they'll drop it again.
