Agree that we can focus on max byte implementations in the short term. I don't see any Arm implementation hardware will exceed byte index limit in near future. And maybe we can fix that when we have hardware or a good solution?

Do you have any plan on this? I am also going to work on masking support, as that's the key feature for SVE. Thanks!
