    NAK.

    There was a CPU called the ARM710, it was ARMv3 and it had no Thumb support.

    There is also a CPU called the ARM710T, which is ARMv4 and has Thumb support.

    These are two completely different CPUs, the former was removed along with
    the removal of ARMv3 support. The latter remains because we still support
    ARMv4.

    This is a nice instance of arm-soc people thinking that they are somehow
    authoritive for core ARM stuff...

    improving, and getting towards what was expected from it.
