RISC-V extension names considered harmful

This is a special case of "stupid nonhuman friendly names considered harmful".

 RISC-V, like any instruction set, as extension. The extensions need names.  The current standard names are stupid and human unfriendly.

 For example, I  just now see email that talks about "working through the process to move Svnapot aka the former Zsn to public review".   I am the guy who originated the RISC-V NAPOT proposal for large pages.  *I*  had to do a double take to parse Svnapot -  but at least "NAPOT" appeared in there somewhere, after I mentally parsed Svanapot into S.v.napot, where  S = system, v = virtual memory, ...

 The earlier name Zsn,  I could never remember - and, again, I contributed the term NAPOT  to the virtual memory discussion.

Stupidly short and obscure names had friction. They waste mind share.

 other RISC-V extension names include

Zicsr

Zifencei

Zam

Ztso

Some of these you can guess about what they  apply to.

 Ag comment: have verbose and compact names

Z-atomic-memory-operations ==> Zam

 and so on

 Did I mention that 1 of the reasons given for short  obscure extension names was that they needed to fit within 8 or whatever characters on the command line processor for compiler?
