I downloaded RISC-V ISA Manual, version 20240411 and some of these extensions have a star (*), e.g. *Zbkb. I don't see a footnote or something to explain it. Is this a typo and this was suppose to be bold?

The table suggests that Zbkb is ratified, but looking at 28.4.5. Zbkb: Bit-manipulation for Cryptography I see a not The Zbkb extension is frozen. Looking at wiki ( https://wiki.riscv.org/display/HOME/Ratified+Extensions ) I see that Zbkb was ratified in November 2021.

The same applies to Zbkc, Zbkx. I didn't check the rest.

I think this is still just partially solved. Zbkc, and even Zba (and many other) extensions continue to have:

[NOTE,caption=Frozen]
====
The Zba extension is frozen.
====

Yet it's ratified in 2021.

Also looking at instructions, e.g. 28.5.47. xnor shows that Zbb (Basic bit-manipulation) Minimum version is 0.93. Also Lifecycle state is Frozen.

Yet the chapter:

Chapter 28. "B" Extension for Bit Manipulation, Version 1.0.0

I don't think that Minimum version should list anything lower than ratified version.

Thanks. I'll fix those.
