<oriansj>yeah dozer might be interesting when it comes about; but all alternative routes and paths should be encouraged as we are still exploring the solution space of potential improvements. (who knows, stripping out build tools might end up making things simpler)
<oriansj>jleightcap: one doesn't need to implement the full knight ISA for bootstrapping work; (you can slowly grow an implementation and that'll be fine)
<oriansj>we also welcome custom CPU architectures of your own making and stage0/mescc-tools is more than happy to be ported to random hardware.
<oriansj>Googulator: yeah, knight is more of a "I picked a weird ISA out of old magazine" and implemented a VM and then did a bootstrap to keep myself honest.
<oriansj>so think of it as a reminder that *ANY* ISA from *ANYWHERE* is acceptable for exotic bootstrap roots
<oriansj>(as it only takes one honest ISA to catch a Nexus style compromise in all others)
<oriansj>kpcyrd: I love seeing your progress and thank you.
