And yeah, that seems to be revived in 2019 by Intel, in the name of IAL (Intel Accelerator Link), which was renamed to CXL (Compute Express Link) later. The main reason why Intel donated IAL was to avoid making the industry fragmented. Later CXL consortium was founded and over 250 companies now contribute to the specification. Including my company!
