From the article, it just seems that RISC-V support was removed from the Android kernel so that it doesn’t become part of future builds of Android, mainly because it is not ready yet. Though the wording from the maintainer that did the patch said the support was “discontinued” which is misleading.

So the article is unintentional clickbait.

Googles requirements for ARM cores on Android was pretty high. Don’t think I’ve seen a RISC-V core get close yet…
