Excepet for the fact this the old name has already been in shipping
hardware and release of qemu and other emulators it should.

It is a giant f***cking mess to be honest.  Adding a highlevel spec
to the ISA but not a register layout is completely idotic, but if you
look at the current riscv-sw list this decision is still defended by
SiFive / the RISC-V foundation.  The whole stale of the RISC-V platform
Ecosystem is rather pathetic unfortunately, and people don't seem to
be willing to learn from past good practice nor mistakes in ARM land.
