I think the trick for getting the F-cpu out the door is rather
not dropping features but find out reasonable subsets of the instruction 
set to build up the design from.  Something like you bootstrap a 
compiler. For example can one get by with say 16 registers , a simple 
incriment unit and alu unit and mmu?
