Which of course raises the question:  How does the Linux community view 
such SoC vendors?  Are they embraced and eagerly supported, or (either 
openly or secretly) viewed as a nuisance?  How does the widespread 
objection to something that such vendors "would make extensive use of" 
mesh with that view?
I cannot tell for the entire Linux community, but from what I know, such 
vendors are not much welcomed in the community.
As far as I can tell, many such vendors don't have much interest in
contributing to the Linux community either.  They use Linux code, glue
in their black-box binary modules and/or HALs, and engage poorly with
the community.  It is not just end-product makers, but upstream
component, board and SDK manufacturers too.
That is what we are trying to change [1].
