Fourth to last line in the article:
"While the company’s statement doesn’t go into detail about the rationale behind this decision, it’s good to get confirmation that RISC-V support in Android isn’t being killed off entirely. "
The quote of “removing RISC-V from generic kernel images” makes a lot of sense
It only kind of works on arm64 right now, trying to add a whole new ISA seems rushed
If they make exceptions for customized kernels for other architectures for now, that seems fine
