Re: [PATCH] RISC-V: Support Zvabd version 0.9
Nick Clifton confirms that the RISC-V Zvabd version 0.9 feature should be removed from the binutils-2.47 branch. This follows a discussion where it was argued that the feature is not yet stable (not 1.0) and has undergone encoding changes, warranting its removal from the release branch.
