The MAK4I protocol resembles the bus standard wars in chip design

I noticed an interesting detail: the repository for the open-source project MAK4I is labeled 'Phase 0 — Foundation'. Anyone involved in chip design would immediately recognize that this status means the project is still light-years away from being usable. Phase 0 implies not even the skeleton is built; it's likely just an architecture diagram on paper. But ironically, projects at this stage are actually worth taking a closer look at.
