> possibly wanting to implement an entire processor from scratch Wanting to facilitate others to do so, sure. This is a common thing to do in a computer engineering program, and I believe it was an explicit design goal that student projects could be real RISC-V implementations instead of targeting the toy ISAs commonly used for this purpose.
