 ### The status quo
 
-SVE is currently entirely unsupported by Rust, but progress is being made:
-
-- [rfcs#3838] is open and proposes adding support for scalable vector types to
-  the language. It has historically been blocked on requiring exceptions in the
-  type system for these types to be considered `Sized` and act as value types.
-  [rfcs#3729] addresses these blockers, so this RFC should be able to be
-  advanced once [rfcs#3729] is ready
-    - [rust#143924] has an proposed implementation for this relying on
-      exceptions in the type system until an implementation of [rfcs#3729] is
-      ready
-    - It may be possible to land an implementation of this experimentally given
-      that there is a realistic approach to resolving its implementation
-      blockers
-    - [stdarch#1509] is ready to add SVE types and intrinsics once
-      [rust#143924] has added the infrastructure to support these types
-- [rfcs#3729] proposes extending Rust's notion of sizedness to introduce a
-  hierarchy of sizedness traits and a notion of const and non-const sizedness
-  which unblocks `extern type`s and scalable vectors being treated as value
-  types.
-  - This RFC has had lots of discussion and two design meetings with the
-    language team. There appears to be some consensus that it's approximately
-    the right approach to the problem and has been approved for experimentation
-    in the compiler.
-  - [rust#137944] was merged implementing the first half of the RFC unstably. It
-    introduced a hierarchy of sizedness traits, sufficient to unblock
-    `extern type`s. It will be followed-up with a patch with the const and
-    non-const sizedness, unblocking scalable vectors.
+SVE is currently entirely unsupported by Rust, but progress is being made - see the tracking
+issues for the Sized Hierarchy prerequisite ([rust#144404]) and for Scalable Vectors
+themselves ([rust#145052]).
