Do you mean 'ARM' the fab-less design company. ARM the 100+ licensees that design the SoCs. The 1000s of board design and manufactures. Or ARM the community of software devs and distributions.

Because on thing Chris was trying to make clear is it is the last group that is organizing and leading the push to have the middle group adopt a common boot path.

ARM the company doesn't really care here because they've sold the designs and can focus on the next one.
