You want the next generation to suffer as well? Never mind! It's Britain's headache now.

But then they have to pay 3 workers
Are you suggesting that they pay 6 times as much as they do now?
Do you honestly think they care about efficiency or quality? They sell man hours, not products.
Aaaw! Won't you think of the poor old billionaires? They aren't earning well enough because the 'youngsters' are lazy!
By what I hear, they have frozen their entry-grade pay back in 2011. And I'm not going to tell you what that is - it's embarrassing even by 2011 standards.
I take GNU Linux to be GNU-flavoured Linux. Musl and Busybox still behave like GNU, since they were written as alternatives to GNU (at least busybox). Alpine belongs in the same category as regular Linux distros - unlike Android.
More important than this distinction though, is the philosophy behind them. Despite the difference in license, Musl and Busybox still value freedom, like GNU. Android is a monstrosity - a wolf in sheep's clothing. A malware masquerading as open source.
I don't understand the requirement for a proprietary software for this. Meanwhile, boot chain verification exists already. And there is no reason why it can't be under the control of the user - with a user-supplied private key.
He should keep it and rename himself. It suits him more.
Void Linux for the arch and gentoo crowd. It's a system that can be assembled more cohesively.
Nix and Guix - the ideas they bring to the table are revolutionary. I prefer Guix due to its use of Scheme (guile). But Nix is more mature and has more packages.
China is the main driver of growth in RISC-V currently. But we need to see how the trade wars will affect that. There was a recent news about RISC-V specifically in this regard.
We might also see more activity from Intel, Qualcomm and Nvidia.
RISC-V instruction set (ISA) is open source. But the actual implementation (microarchitecture) has no such obligations. And among the implementations that can run Linux, none (that I know) are open source designs.
With regards to hardware backdoors - no, closed source RISC-V implementations are not easier than x86 or ARM to audit for security.
Least important it may be. But it is the most significant. This scheme follows the conventional scheme we follow while writing numbers - the most significant digit to the left and significance reducing as we move right.
The advantage of YYYY-MM-DD becomes when you add time to it in ISO-8601 or RFC 3339 format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss. All the digits are uniformly decreasing in significance from left to right.
This becomes even more apparent if you are trying to sort by time - say, a stack of files, or datetime in a computer. Try doing this with any other scheme.
