nicely said. though I think the Mill deserves more credit. Assuming that the team doesn't die or simply get acqui(patent)hired, they seem more likely to have material impact than RISCv which exists simply to swap out Arm.

I'm impressed at their doing something completely different and do wish them well. I know someone on the team but I'm impatient.
