Let's just say that the PTSD from 2014/2015 is not yet completely healed.
OTOH, I think we ended up in a decent place on ARM, all in all. The world didn't end, and things didn't get nearly as messy as the initial patches from APM (the company) was making us fear. Of course, it helped that the number of vendors remaining is small.
We could have gotten there with much less energy spent on debates if certain people didn't work so hard on antagonizing the existing developer and maintainer base, but we recovered it in the end. Nowadays they claim full credit for something that they so nearly tanked, and others saved, but life's too short to argue over it.
