FWIW, when I gave a short talk about Debian's riscv64 port a few years ago almost all the questions from the audience basically came down to "when are you going to do a riscv32 port?" ... I suspect it was at least partly because it is much easier to implement a riscv32 core in FPGA that riscv64. So there is *some* interest, even if a bit niche, though the landscape maybe has changed a bit since 2019 with more riscv64 silicon available? live well, vagrant
