Hello all, A colleague mentioned that ISA deprecation was discussed during the recent gem5 meeting. I am wondering what the community's feelings are toward the idea and which ISAs would be on the chopping block. Personally, I'd like to kill ALPHA, MIPS, POWER, and SPARC. This means that we'd retain X86, ARM, RISCV, and HSAIL-X86.
I can help out with the removal if we decide that we want to kill some of them. We might wait until March 1st to start the process since we're supposed to transition to fully transition to Git on that day; we could create a tag for the ISA deprecation in case someone wants to revive one of them in the future (i.e. MIPS or POWER if someone wants to maintain them).
