For myself I'm not sure how the cost/benefit ratio comes out - both are
fairly unknown to me. Mostly I was bringing this up to make sure the
existing outstanding work, patch, and bug were resolved rather than left to
rot some more. More or less I'm asking Chris if, given the points raised in
the bug regarding multi-architecture targeting, he still felt it was
something worth pursuing or not.

Thanks,
