> SIMD ISAs usually do not provide the integer division; the only known exception is RISC-V Vector Extension

It's kind of funny to read "the only known exception is..." in this context. What would an unknown exception be - an ISA that accidentally implements this but that the author believes nobody is aware of yet?

More seriously, I actually don't understand the intended meaning here. I assume the author means "out of all the ISAs I know"? What is that set of ISAs?
