## Deferred goals
- Host NVIDIA driver (`nvidia.ko`) over a virtual function — host OS
- acceleration from the open-iov device model — is a **deferred design goal**,
- lower priority than guest CUDA execution, multi-VM, 3D and performance; the
- verdict (not possible on this platform as-is) and a first design sketch are
- in
- [`docs/03-architecture/12-host-vf-acceleration-future-goal.md`](docs/03-architecture/12-host-vf-acceleration-future-goal.md).
+ acceleration / host display from the open-iov device model — is a
+ **post-1.0 stretch goal we are still only considering**. We may work on it at
+ some point; we will probably take a crack at it because it is a great
+ feature, but **do not block on it, pursue it, or design around it**. It is
+ strictly lower priority than every baseline goal (guest CUDA execution,
+ multi-VM, 3D, Windows, isolation, performance, portability). It is
+ **never pursued automatically**; it requires a human decision once we are
+ certain there is no risk — which we are not certain of now — and it may be
+ scrapped on architectural grounds. Treat it until further notice as
+ **do not implement**.
+ - First design (`13-host-vf-acceleration-design.md`) was written and then
+ **reverted on 2026-10-02** after independent reviews falsified its
+ load-bearing mechanisms; all associated doc edits were reverted.
+ - The corrected record, candidate approaches, experimental gating policy and
+ revisit criteria are in the post-1.0 document
+ [`docs/10-post-1.0/experimental-host-acceleration.md`](docs/10-post-1.0/experimental-host-acceleration.md)
+ (intentionally not linked from the docs front door and not part of the
+ active reading order; don't index it and don't design toward it).
+ - Earlier verdict and options:
