Indeed, there is a large amount of work ahead, and big.LITTLE is no doubt only the start. But I find it quite encouraging that small changes can produce meaningful improvements: This means that we can make use of asymmetric hardware now and improve its performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use over time.
But yes, there might well be very large changes required over the longer term. It should be fun! ;-)
