It seems that all's not well in RISC-V land: SiFive appears
to be laying off around 20% of its workforce, the number of 129
redundancies out of around 600 total has been mentioned according to
https://www.heise.de/news/Es-brodelt-in-der-RISC-V-Welt-9343103.html

The main source (in English) is
https://morethanmoore.substack.com/p/the-risk-of-risc-v-whats-going-on
The official statement quoted there reads as if it was written by an AI.

comp.arch regulars that used to work for SiFive:
Andy Crazy Glew - 2019 - May 2021
Bruce Hoult - March 2018 - February 2020

Krste Asanovic used to be regular, but it was 25-30 years ago.
In more recent years he took part in conversation only once.
