how is this intended to work with versions? so we ratify some 1.0 spec and we come along and call it 1.1 that has additive changes, i thought i heard that ecosystem around risc-v including compilers a

Thank you. If I understand this correctly I agree with all you have said. If this is a once at boot time requirement regardless of mode and there is a reasonable way to do it, then i concur that well

Krste has said (correct me if I am wrong) that the unpriv SC owns the opcode space. I know there is a lot of overlap in the SC members but I suggest we get that SC officially in the loop. I have CC'ed

Is there a checklist of requirements for priv specifications? if not should there be? If there is, would this be a requirement in that list to specify to some level of clarity (maybe indicating what i

Agreed and many thanks to rivos. I think Philipp and Greg as chairs of SW and Priv are discussing the best way/place to create this SIG. remember that we are matrixed and at least these two committees

I agree. We are a community and the best solutions are jointly developed with community buy-in. A similar thing occurred with graphics and shading. We had them step and back and develop a strategy wit

The Committees (who can delegate to SIGs) now constitute the mechanism for continuity as Task groups must have small tasks and end when they complete their tasks. The goal is that some committee or SI

Please talk with Greg and decide. This is why we have cross group involvement. When a spec is ratified and a TG is disbanded, the Committee has ultimate responsibility. I have a question though. Is th

Apologies. Clearly I am losing track of what is happening when! If you depend on it and its not ratified, then you either need to wait or get a waiver.
