I just don't see how "not following the the established idea" of what
RISC is can result in something that should be call RISC.
To me, it looks more like a PDP11 redesign with 16 registers instead
of 8. Unfortunately, increasing the register set size required that
some of the PDP11's orthogonality had to be thrown out.

Saying it's RISC without following the commonly accepted idea of what
RISC is just seems like redifining RISC to mean anything at all.
