Very unlikely since CRIS is a propietary architecture from Axis which is
probably covered by some patents.
On a limb i'm betting they decided that maintaining their own
architecture wasn't worth the effort and they'll be switching to
something more generally-available like ARM or MIPS.
Remember they're mostly a netcam company, not a silicon or IP one. Their
ARTPEC chips (the engine behind their cams) were never sold, they were
for internal consumption.
Acme systems (www.acmesystems.it) which sold a range of products based
on their Etrax SoCs completely switched to ARM if that's any indication.
