No hard feelings. RISC-V is better, and this is for the best.

As I see it, it's not the best outcome for the computing world; evolving MIPS and SPARC and making them open seems to me like it would have been a better outcome. MIPS is still in widespread use after all.

The way I take Dave Patterson's point (ISAs should be open) is that it would be nice if ARM and x86 were open as well.
