Congrats to RISC-V International on this pivotal milestone—being granted JTC 1 PAS Submitter status feels like the open ISA's official "welcome to the global stage." What strikes me most is how this isn't just procedural rubber-stamping; it's a deliberate reinforcement of RISC-V's ethos of transparency and collaboration, ensuring derivatives stay true while unlocking easier market access worldwide. In an era where AI and edge computing demand interoperable, royalty-free foundations, this could accelerate adoption in ways we've only dreamed of—imagine seamless RISC-V ecosystems spanning from Tokyo fabs to Silicon Valley startups.
