@@ -170,14 +170,6 @@ One extremely important aspect of ffirst is:
   vectorised operations are effectively `nops` which is
   *precisely the desired and intended behaviour*.
 
-Another aspect is that for ffirst LD/STs, VL may be truncated arbitrarily
-to a nonzero value for any implementation-specific reason.  For example:
-it is perfectly reasonable for implementations to alter VL when ffirst
-LD or ST operations are initiated on a nonaligned boundary, such that
-within a loop the subsequent iteration of that loop begins subsequent
-ffirst LD/ST operations on an aligned boundary.  Likewise, to reduce
-workloads or balance resources.

 CR-based data-dependent first on the other hand MUST not truncate VL
 arbitrarily to a length decided by the hardware: VL MUST only be
 truncated based explicitly on whether a test fails.
