most of it is that I need to sit down for some real time and have a think through it ;)
for all the common cases / modern HW it will be ok... but all the rest???
maybe we need a strict(er) safety valve on where this is used and then over time
widen the usage?
(after all, a regression means revert, and maybe it's better to only revert "add CPU type X" than
revert the whole series)
