We just did the exercise with sparc/sparc64 unification and if you forget the few times I broke sparc32 then it went well with only limited problems.
We also had the x86 unification finished in the past year which went very well too, so i can only encourage similar efforts.
One key factor why it went well was that patches were reviewed and applied within a few days whch is why I stresses that the maintainer needs spare time to support the effort.
Yes. Unification is the Linux meme of the century i guess ;-) There's two main unification themes: - per arch unification (x86, powerpc, sparc - cross-arch unification: the moving of useful stuff out of architectures into the core kernel (genirq, gtod, etc.).
