RISC-V ISA string stuff makes my head hurt.
Claims that the spec definitions are stable just blows my mind. I'd swear that the biggest pain in the arse patches are those dealing with passing it that to a toolchain, particularly the removal of Zicsr/Zifencei from I crap.

@dickon I'm not really aware of the timing of those changes, but I assume they changed midway through your software support for the extensions. Did it also change late enough to affect hardware tapeout (although you probably cannot answer that) and/or after public review?

@dickon Oh I totally didn't interpret as figurehead. I know we talked about the crypto support patches at FOSDEM w/ him, so I figured it was a "he sent it, but we all worked on it" type of comment.
Sounds like you guys are doing a pretty good job of internships.

Oof. git-wranger-in-chief is kinda my job title too, although I've managed to gradually improve everyone's ability over the last few years.
