The main ones I had in mind are:
* to do this you need really to have access to the specs for
new hardware features early. If you wait for publication
of official specs to start implementation then you won't
be done until most of the "window" before h/w is available
has already closed
* you need to actually implement new features, which requires
more work than we're currently putting in -- for instance
for ARM we still haven't finished implementing virtualization
emulation, and we haven't even started with v8.1 features yet
* you need to do better testing than just "does it boot
Linux?" if you're trying to provide a dev platform for
people to use for developing Linux...
thanks
