In this case, "external user" are the dependency matrices, right?

I've read https://libre-soc.org/3d_gpu/architecture/6600scoreboard/.

As far as I understand it, the Dependency Matrices also need to know themselves
that the operand is immediate, and not set the corresponding FU-Reg Latch,
correct? Is this already implemented?
