  Constantly forgot about this one. Yes, if NDA goes away, then most
  of our problems also does. And A & B fuse.

  And yes, we should definitely provides support for Skywater,
  but we must focus on our immediate target.

  Yes, but devil is in the details... So it may be not as straightforward.
  At least, it is our experience that every port has to be carefully
  crafted whatever the apparent symplicity.
