To indicate how far we've come from that, my biggest concern with the lowRISC project I mention elsewhere is that it's a RISC-V project, and in a very New Jersey way, that CPU has no provision for integer math errors other than divide by zero. Also makes the large integer cryptographic crowd rather upset. While this is ... tolerable, I seriously wonder what other corners are being cut, e.g. in the unreleased privileged ISA. (A bit more background: RISC-V is intended to be a open core for everything, so making the base processor simple for education is good, but promoting it as a CPU for industry is in the direction of bad, IMHO.)
