I'm not addressing you specifically, but I will note how great you tend to say ia64 is when platform performance comparison discussions happen on the lists :-) In general, I think some platform maintainence drifts way too easily into a tail-spin of local changes that take forever to get merged. My point was that if some random single monkey like me can keep a loser platform like sparc64 still building in Linus's tree, a group of several trained professionals should be able to fare much better :)
