Sorry, I guess my question wasn't clear.
I'm not asking why it would be a problem for you to stop contributing
to ARM support in Qemu. That's not the meaning of my question above.
Of course it would be a problem for all of us if you had to stop.
I am asking why you think you'd have to stop contributing to the
pre-ARMv6 feature set, given that it's unrelated to the restrictions
that you're bound by.
If it's post-ARMv6 contributions that you're interested in, you can't
contribute them now or in future; so someone else contributing changes in
that area makes no difference to you.
Or does it? That's my question; I don't see why post-ARMv6
functionality in Qemu would prevent you from contributing to the
pre-ARMv6 functionality (devices, CPU model etc.), which is the only
area you're publically able to contribute now anyway.
I realise they would overlap substantially in the code, but that
doesn't mean you have to contribute any changes or reveal any
information which depends on the ARMv6 or later documentation.
I don't see why it would make a difference to what you're able to do,
and that's why I'm asking why you think it would.
Thanks,
