    From a bystanderʼs POV it is excessively hard to memorize all the mess with multiple different extensions. The naming style doesnʼt alleviate the task. But this is a typical issue in the whole RISC-V ecosystem.

    What Iʼm slightly confused for is that all these extensions, useful for a minor part of applications, arenʼt moved to longer instructions (6-byte).
