Allright, now this is ridiculous.
Stop using AIs and/or trolling, thx.

Okay, I’m neither party in this back and forth and I don’t know either of you. I have an idea what the misunderstanding might be, but I could be entirely wrong.
I think sylware doesn’t mean the core ISA exactly, but the core with the standard extensions rather than manufacturer-specific extensions.
I genuinely do not understand what part of my comments you take issue with. You said that programs will assume the core RISC-V ISA. I said that no, most programs will assume the existence of some extensions, including integer multiply/divide and floating point.
There are two possibilities here:
* Either I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, and you did not mean that most programs will use only the core ISA.
* Or you're trying to say that integer multiply/divide and floating point is part of the core ISA.
Which one is it?
If it's the first one, could you try to clarify? Because I can't see another way to interpret the phrase "programs will want probably to stay conservative and will implement only the core ISA".
