On one hand, a great benefit of RISC-V is that you can add all sorts of crap to the base instruction set...but on the other hand fragmentation is a problem (when everybody else adds crap to the instruction set and things clash).

How does Qualcomm expect to rationalise these issues without basically making themselves a gatekeeper and, in the process, turning into a mini-ARM, only without the core IP to back them up?
