The community has a built in tension around this:

   and constantly on top of the latest technology. As can be
   seen Qualcomm just taped out a brand new ARMv7 SoC
   named Kuno, for example.

As you can see this leads to a bit of tension.

That summary looks incomplete to me. Every time a kernel API is modified 
that is used by the RiscPC code, the RiscPC code has to be modified too.
Removing the RiscPC code makes modifying kernel APIs easier. A recent
example is available here: "[PATCH v5] scsi: core: Drop
Scsi_Host.default_lock"
