FWIW, I don't think this is a good strategy. It is *essential* that we
prioritize all of the efforts necessary to fix the underlying
infrastructure first, so that we can build up a proper regression test
suite each time these types of encoding fixes go into the tree.

I would ask that folks who care about PPC focus their efforts on
resolving these underlying issues first, and then come back to
encoding bugs.
