Building a More Secure World with the RISC-V ISA

I’m wondering if the Mill would evade Spectre 1 and 2, have they said enough yet to speculate about that?

Are you concerned with spectre 1+2 across protection domains or in the context of running untrusted code within the same process (e.g. a like a JS VM)?

Untrusted code within the same process seems like it'd be harder for the CPU do something about, since it can't know what portions of the address space are trusted and not.
