The problem with "doing work" is that work does take time.

Being late means widespread non-standardized, bespoke vendor specific solutions. Exactly the one thing RISC-V International strongly wants to avoid.

Won't go into judging ACPI and UEFI, and how misunderstood or desirable they are.

RISC-V chose to adopt these, and to standardize what the baseline platform is, and specify how ACPI and UEFI are implemented.

Even if some their ideas are desirable, the execution very much isn't.
