Yes - we have a magic process which reconfigures all deployed silicon whenever
a new SDM is published :-)

Actually the SDM had been collecting new features for each generation ... each
time just bolting on a new paragraph or table. I snapped when I saw the table
that was proposed for 15-20 to add "continuable" errors and complained that
it had gotten way too complicated ... and proposed the version that you see in
the current SDM.

It accurately portrays what older generations implemented, and adds the new
continuable (EIPV=1, RIPV=1) while removing many rows and columns.
