No, the sheer job of reimplementing the entire kernel stack (including
custom driver support) on a new architecture was what slowed them down.
And the effort should have been avoided.
There are no indicatianos of substantial reimplementation.
All previous implementations were on hardware that DEC/Compaq/HP
controlled. Not any more. Now they have to work on already-existing
hardware, that conforms to standards they don’t control.
So yes, the job of creating drivers conforming to their own proprietary
API for all that hardware would be quite huge.
And it should have been avoided.
