RVA23 is actually a decent ISA for linux machines for the long term, RVA20 was not.

Presumably there's going to be some hardware releases later this year that Ubuntu has early knowledge of.

Does this line up with what riscv android will also require?

AIUI both Google and Microsoft selected RVA23 as baseline.
