 \item Elaborated the ISA feature set in CHERI to support real-world operating
   systems -- primarily this has consisted of developing mature compositions of
-  CHERI's concepts with system features such as the MMU and exception model,
-  but also programmable interrupt controllers (PICs).
+  CHERI's concepts with system features such as the MMU and exception model.
   We have also spent considerable time refining successive versions of
   the ISA intended to better support high levels of MMU-based operating-system
   and C-language compatibility, as well as automatic use by compilers.

   We have applied CHERI to protection of key system libraries, but also the

   This has included substantial baseline OS infrastructure work, including
