This came up on IRC this morning and we talked a bit on the patchwork
call this morning. I'm not really sure what the right answer is here,
but it seems at least reasonable to talk about -- we've got a lot more
testing these days are we've been somewhat reasonable about following
the release stages. Either way it looks like a mailing list discussion
and this seems like the easiest way to start it.
I figured it'd be best to start with just rv64gc, as that's the target
that is widley used by distros and has hardware to test on. Hopefully
at some point we'll add a more exciting target, but it seems safer to
start with something small.
Just to be explicit for the wider community. I'm on board, we're
starting from a relatively conservative place, but that seems like the
right thing to do.
I can easily see pushing this towards rv64gc with bitmanip+vector in the
future.
