Are you referring to "Design Assurance"(as 3) and "Security"(as 5)?
Seems like an advertisement specifically against risc-v by and for ARM.
I'm sorry to hear about those terms on a project with any pretensions of being "open".
Notes: [0] UCB stands for "University of California at Berkeley" so the intermediate form is normally "UC Berkeley".
