I hope they come to what seems to be the most reasonable conclusion (that the RISC-V patch acceptance policy should be adjusted.) The way I see it, Linux runs on and supports all kinds of stuff that is not well-specced and subject to change, and sometimes reverse-engineered. While the patch policy has good intentions, I think when silicon is shipping and emulators are emulating things it would make sense for Linux to support it. So let’s hope it works out. The staging approach would sound reasonable on the surface, until you realize the Linux staging subsystem is more specific[1] than the name implies, and not just a dumping ground for stuff that can’t be merged for other reasons.
