Looks like the SRM vs ARC mess is going to get even messier.

It is not encouraging to see not merely a 3rd version to worry
about, but one with "BIOS" in its name.

It is not encouraging to see that even DEC's own people don't like SRM.

I like SRM, although I'd like to see more documentation for it.
There are clearly a lot of untapped powerful features in there.
