"Mandyam used Chinese consumer and enterprise IT vendor Huawei as an example of how ARM chips are deployed from its smartphones through to its network infrastructure equipment."
LOL, and especially Huawei with their track record of vulnerabilities is quoted here. I'd guess if someone ever finds a low-level vuln in Huawei-specific hardware, he'll be able to fuck up stuff everywhere.
I can believe it, especially if Ubuntu becomes more mainstream on PC's thanks to its (relative) popularity on mobile, and to Valve's Steam Box. Plus, unlike Windows RT, Linux can run most x86 apps. So the switch to ARM won't feel like such a dramatic shift in the short term.

Diversity is not always bad.
