The channel factory idea doesn't require any particular extension to Ark. It's something that could - in theory - be done today
I think most of the code changes would be needed in Lightning, not in Arm
My guess is that we'll need to see more confidence that "basic Ark" works well, and that we have robust libraries and implementations and then the channel factory idea will catch on
