Yeah, probably, in this context, but I was just making a general statement. Trying out a new feature which hasn't been used widely on old things doesn't go too well in many cases - the hw vendor and BIOS writer already moved on, people end up experiencing regressions on configurations which used to work fine and when that happens, new comers try out and find out it's broken in strange ways and when that happens they're much less likely to bother reporting and trying to get the problem fixed. And, most importantly, when things aren't used widely, that usually is for a reason - it just doesn't make that much of a difference.
