Yeah, but RISC-V came out of RISC-1,2,3,4; it didn't magically appear our of nowhere. "RISC-V was developed in 2010 at the University of California, Berkeley as the fifth generation of RISC processors created at the university since 1981".

Also, RISC-V is not particularly innovative or groundbreaking. It's a standard Von Neumann CPU optimised for simplicity and modularity.

The Mill was (is?) a much bigger swing, with much bigger problems to solve in getting to production.
