I hope that noone had that impression.

The key point (which I have to repeat every now and then) is that
RISC-V *supports* openness, in ways not possible with x86, ARM or
-yes- even POWER, at least at the moment.

Right - I think it's important not to judge an open architecture by
any one implementation, but to remember (as you point out) the
difference between architecture and implementation.
