When they stop supporting MP7,1. won't they be inherently stopping bootcamp support?

They already did pretty much a while ago.

For Windows 11 ARM, you don't need it, you can just dual boot regularly I believe. Drivers will be an issue, Apple will never write Windows drivers again so you have to aim to reach the hacking community. I'm pretty sure they will remove Bootcamp when they drop Intel support completely. That's been a bastard child for them since the transition to Intel in mid 2000s.

I initially believed it would be supported for longer, so didn't cast a vote.

No way we are going to get support for the Radeon W7000-series, either. As there is no AMD graphics in any Mac, and Apple no longer sells any graphic card, as far as I understand.

It is kind of ironic. Apple couldn't upgrade the 6.1, because of thermal limits.
The 7.1 has not reached any thermal limit. Yet, here we are...
