I do, hence my speculation about putting the NVMe in firmware instead of hardware :)

(Colin's speculation in a peer reply is also reasonable -- personally I've seen enough errata in "off the shelf" IP to shudder at the idea of anything in silicon that doesn't have to be, but fundamentally I'm a SWE, so that would be my take, wouldn't it)

The way I see it, everything has errata... but if you're taking something off the shelf, it's more likely that someone else already found them. :-)
