Give it time guys, the future will tell.
A lot of different people are working on all different aspects to get linux working on the A1X devices. Most developers just recently got their device to test with (mele a1000/a2000).
The Mali driver are almost as good as done. That means, in working condition utilizing the open and closed sources from ARM itself. The better solution using the Lima driver is not yet in working condition. (because there is not yet a lima driver)
A lot of people acknowledge that the A1x concept is a strong concept and devices are popping up every where from small STB types to USB dongle types and offcourse a HUGE amount of different tablets.
Every one of them can basically dual boot into linux from sd-card.
As soon as XBMC (or any other piece of software for that matter) is working on this ARM device, the ARM hardware database is increased by multiple times !
But once again. A lot of different people are working on all different aspects and it is all WIP. Al you need is a bit of patience.
