That's the current situation. I was saying AIA is not "some" optional extension
which most implementations will ignore in the future. In the future, I
expect most platforms
will implement AIA.

As your quote also described above, AIA spec says (which overrides the
priv spec)

"The Advanced Interrupt Architecture claims further authority over
identity numbers in the ranges 16–23 and 32–47,
leaving numbers in the range 24–31 and all major identities 48 and
higher still free for custom use."

That means any implementation can be treated as custom (as per AIA
spec) if they choose a local interrupt
only in between 24-31 or > 48. Now if we choose to ignore the AIA spec
and go with the old priv spec statement to
decide if a custom implementation violated the standard encoding
space, that's a different argument. That means we have
to allow any future vendor implementation that violates as well as
long as they claim that they designed their chip before
AIA was ratified.

That would be an ideal case where we won't require any additions
because all RISC-V vendor implementations
comply with the spec. In reality, we may not have that luxury ;)

Any thoughts on vendor specific namespace to avoid mixing standard ISA
