Most hardware (NVMe drives, GPUs, etc) doesn't run at more than 4.0 speeds anyway. The primary advantage of 5.0 and higher is that it'll allow that hardware to use fewer CPU lanes, eg what requires 4.0 x4 could use 6.0 x1.

I can we can stack them? If we had 8x NVMe drives bundled I assume we'd need PCI 7.
