It appears MIPS has become a member of RISC-V: https://tuxphones.com/mips-joins-risc-v-...-standard/
I would really recommend checking out MIPS, these processors can be found in the wild in lots of random low-power devices, including WiFi routers.
MIPS could become *very* interesting if they start adding ASEs (application specific extensions) to their 64 bit RISC processors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture
For example an MCU (great for getting Linux running), SIMD, virtualization, multi-threading and 3D graphics. As it becomes a member of RISC-V, in theory these features will be open, allowing for rock solid kernel development rather than some reverse engineering effort.
