This changelog tells us what you're doing, but not why you're doing it.
Why is it that ia64 is different from x86 and x86_64? What should other

all; it should be doing the exact same thing on all three architectures.

Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine
"Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this
operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such
a retrograde step."
