I can't help but wonder who is stifling the specification process?
To quote you on your own spec:
"To date, no parts of the standard have been officially ratified by the RISC-V Foundation, but
the components labeled “frozen” above are not expected to change during the ratification process
beyond resolving ambiguities and holes in the specification."

I know several parties that would like to see your project fail.
Engineers are easily spooked.
We've seen far too much vaporware over the years.
Are you working in a half baked system? Is RISC-V for real?
I come in from the sidelines occasionally to review the status of RISC-V and am in no way involved with any RISC-V projects.
I will have to say that at the very least you are not keeping up appearances. I respect that.
Still, let's not forget the selling out of ARM in all of this.
Let's not forget the nature of a project that wants to compete with Intel, AMD, and ARM from an open stance.
Of course I am rooting for this project.
Should it be an FPGA capable design? I think so.
I suspect a mini version of your project was probably the right way to begin.
The business class should insulate investors from engineers at the least.
Where the tech pubs come in; hah!.
Possibly the project is very far along and this manual sits withering on the vine cut short and wounded.
Possibly you are so badly infiltrated that the wrenches coming into the gears from every angle start to make the gears look like wrenches.
Possibly a time to isolate into small competitive groups and go out on branches.
Simply eliminate the broken branches.
