I thought it is already decided that it will be part of the RVA22
profile spec. It seems that it is not yet added to the RVA22 profile

The last remaining one belongs to platform spec but must be merged

 ## User-Level Platform



-* User-mode environments must implement at least version 2.2 of
the
RISC-V User

-  ISA specification, which can be found at

-* User-mode programs may not execute the `fence.i` instruction.

-* User-mode environments may provide additional ISA extensions,
but
if those

disabled.

 * Within main-memory regions, aligned instruction fetch must be
atomic, up to
