But the C1 accomplishes this through reconfigurability. The 1 MHz core
is tuned for maximum compatibility, while the 20 MHz core is tuned for
maximum features.

Right - and we're not building C64 clones.

Actually no - the VIC article by Christian Bauer and the research done
by the ReSID people has been a tremendous help, as well as a lot of
input from the hacking community. Not to mention the schematics
archive on Funet, and all the other technical documentation.
