screw others.  we need money NOW. *WE* need money NOW. tasks
need to be completed NOW.

RISC-V and other CPUs can take a hike.

you're wasting my time being excessively pedantic and forcing me into
petty "micro-managing" to get you to focus, which is demeaning for
both of us.

FOCUS ON GETTING THE JOB DONE so that money comes in, because
tasks completed NOW get US money LATER. other people's benefit
is an accidental side-effect but i can pretty much guarantee they
won't bother paying us.

therefore FORGET "other people", they are utterly unimportant.

don't waste time thinking "all tasks shall have budget therefore start
modifying dependencies or depends/blocks".

not all tasks are required to even have a budget, it is too much
detail for NLnet.

also you missed the task "link ieee754fpu into TestIssuer and write
unit tests for the new FPU CompUnit(s)" which is the one that
*actually* gets money assigned to it.

at EUR 8,000 you (not me) need to think in terms of three to five
sub-tasks under bug #1025 that actually get money assigned.

all others under that (with a zero budget, and using blocks/depends
NOT "parent budget allocation") are for *you* to manage and make clear
to others (as part of Audit and Review) what you are doing.

they are also to help YOU keep track of what you are doing,
as there is a lot of small pieces to get done here.
