I think that's fine, as an outsider without any RISC-V board around, alignment in the future seems better than a board out today given performance is AFAIK still awfully subpar.

As a potential consumer all I want is that by the time RISC-V really hits the market people don't start hitting edge cases like toes on furniture with missing extensions that ended up being critical to properly run the software they need. I don't want another shitshow like USB-C fast-charging where consumers can't easily tell if a cable will work fine or end up in a slow charge fallback.

I'd rather see RISC-V for the more general public coming out later than starting with the wrong foot.
