The other reason for not adding an SVP64-Prefixed instruction without also having it as a Scalar un-prefixed instruction is that if the -32-bit encoding is ever allocated to a completely unrelated operation +32-bit encoding is ever allocated in a future revision +of the Power ISA +to a completely unrelated operation then how can a Vectorised version of that new instruction ever be added? +The uniformity and RISC Abstraction is irreparably damaged. Bottom line here is that the fundamental RISC Principle is strictly adhered to, even though these are Advanced 64-bit Vector instructions. Advocates of the RISC Principle will appreciate the uniformity of
