Regrettably, if it's one thing we've all learned from PC clone
manufacturers and BIOS vendors, it's that they're not sensible.
They're not reasonable.  And they're anything but sane.

Servers designed for use in data centers are on the market right now
with adapters fully equipped with TCP/IP stacks in firmware *just* to
give a remote operator control over a computer's PS/2 or serial ports,
for instance.

You can bank that it'll happen with RISC-V as well.
