@sean @thatbrickster There is "seriously considering" and there is "actually doing". Both logistically and technically POWER is many months to a couple of years away from being where RISC V is now in meeting the goals of this project. Switching ISAs is not being considered here to speed up delivery, it is because the *figure plans* of POWER align more closely with this project's ideals.
The desire to be "officially blessed" by a foundation is the issue, and who gets their shit together first.
