I'm looking through this one now, and I see a *lot* of confidential
materials, including discussions and agreements with third parties,
encumbered ABI documentation, and things of unknown origin.

Are you sure you want this opened anyway?  I will likely be able to
open only a tiny fraction of the case, and the folks with direct
knowledge of the details (who could possibly clear up the licensing
issues) seem to be long gone.

I'll look over those as time allows, but my guess would be that it's
unlikely to be useful material for a new architecture.  You're much
better off just writing a straightforward case that describes the new
ABI and the relevant issues, and going in for an inception review.

I think you're looking at a time-waster.
