I'm far sadder to see the various MIPS machines starting to lose support than I am for Itanic.

I thought MIPS was making a come back

Nah. The current license holder for MIPS announced its death a couple of years ago.

RISC-V is the new hotness.

Wait I thought MIPS and RISC-V was the same ISA?

Similar, but not the same. The biggest difference of course is that the MIPS ISA is still commercially licensed while RISC-V's ISA is open.
