Hi All,
Please find the below email from Stephano about the freeze announcement for
various RISC-V specifications that will be part of privilege specification
v1.12.
All the review discussions are happening in the isa-dev mailing list. The
review period will be open for 45 days ending Sunday October 31, 2021.
I just want to highlight the fact that the *H*, *V, SvPBMT, CMO extensions
are frozen now. *This will help us merge some patches that have been
present in the mailing list for a while.
Here are the ratification policy and extension life cycle documents present
in the public. If you have any questions regarding this, please check with
Mark/Stephano (cc'd).

I'm still buried after Plumbers, but one of the bits on my TODO list was
to look throught the new definitions for frozen and stable. Nothing in
this extension life cycle talks about the point at which compatibility
will be maintained, which was really the central point behind frozen
before.
Are there more concrete definitions somewhere?
