There are at least two or three new architectures in the pipeline already. loongarch64 from Loongson was already mentioned, but there is also already arc and probably arc64 from Synopsis. I'm not sure if CHERI and ARM Morello will require a new arch, but ISTR they will. If The Mill ever gets off the ground I expect there will be a Debian port of that. There are also other CPU arches supported by Linux like C-Sky as well as ideas for ports to various kernels and other things like CloudABI or WASM. There are also perhaps rebootstrap-only ports or full ports for moving baselines backwards or forwards like to amd64v3 or MIPSr1, which Debian no longer supports but could easily support and would enable Debian on hardware that currently ships. https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/loongarch64 https://wiki.debian.org/Ports/arc https://wiki.debian.org/Ideas/Ports -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
