In the unlikely event someone does manage to replace the assembler with something portable it would be somewhat ironic that RISC-V targets would start to be viable.
I grew up on RISC OS, and even I'm mystified as to quite why it has persisted in some quarters for so long.
Now if we could only emulate a late 80s British Supermarket, complete with the 'computers for schools' vouchers, we'd have the full Pinter-esque kitchen-sink mundanity of the UK microprocessor/RISC computing scene captured.

I think the truth is the future is emulation.

Looking forward to the TAS of Granny's Garden!

Needs the Concept Keyboard!
Now that we are talking about RiscOS... how's the wireless support on the RPIB+ now that the OS was opened under a libre license?
