Everything needed for high performance was ratified in 2021, just two years after the base spec.
That's RVA22 and Vector 1.0.
Low-end hardware implementing the spec already exists (Milk-V Jupiter). High end implementations (e.g. Ventana Veyron V2, designed for servers) will be deployed in 2025.
And the RISC paper[0] was published in 1980.
Both are milestones that paved the way to RISC-V's base spec ratification in 2019.
Incidentally, the Earth is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old.

So the ratification of a spec that will enable high performance implementation would be another 4.54 billion years after 2019?
It's actually worse than that, because until it's done there's no guarantee it will ever get there.
