There is no change in H-extension spec for more than a year now.

The H-extension spec also has provision for external interrupt controller
with virtualization support (such as the RISC-V AIA specification).

It seems Andrew does not want to freeze H-extension until we have virtualization
aware interrupt controller (such as RISC-V AIA specification) and IOMMU. Lot
of us feel that these things can be done independently because RISC-V
H-extension already has provisions for external interrupt controller with
virtualization support.

The freeze criteria for H-extension is still not clear to me.
Refer, https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-privileged/topic/risc_v_h_extension_freeze/80346318?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,80346318
