Record that here

I dont have a time frame on that but i do think it will be done by the end

And track down a way to do that, yes.

Ah apparently softfloat has sqrt so that's fine. Adapt test_add.py to pass
single arg, not a problem.

So would you be happy with say USD 1500 to do the sqrt FP? Yes you get the
choice to be included. Will need you on the MoU to do so, ideally.
