It is my sense of core that core would support new architectures if
they make sense.  To make sense, the architecutre must be widely
deployed (or about to be widely deployed).  It must have enough brains
that a port can be undertaken w/o rewriting large parts of the system
(the MMU requirement).  It must have enough of a life to make it worth
while.  And it must have a base of users that are willing to support
it in the long haul.  By long haul, I mean multiple years.

StrongARM generally fits into this model.  What is lacking is a good
prototype.
