Well, this is a weak argument. So far there was no alternative available.

I don't let you go with this ;): How should we find out what needs to be
fixed - given that hardly anyone is able to test on its own all the
supported boards with appropriate sound scenarios? What regressions are
you aware of when we switch NOVOL off? That's why I was asking for a
roadmap: If there are known one, then keep NOVOL set for those arch. But
we won't make progress if we just stick with "this was OK so far."
