I'm not sure whether you mean "after this patchset is accepted" or "as part of this patchset if it seems a reasonable path." I vote for the latter, because if we put in the parts people care about, i.e., x86, the rest seems to never happen. That's not surprising; whose manager will approve extra time to work on an arch that's not on their critical path? But in my opinion, doing just x86 is only doing half the job, and we have to do the whole thing if we want to keep Linux maintainable in the future.
