What Albert said.

As a more specific note, I have no problem with removing the EH support,
but the "old" JIT should stay until MCJIT is on par with it.

And now that we are talking about the JITs, is the MCJIT faster than the
"old" JIT at generating code with the same optimization level? On
medium-sized modules (hundreds of KB of native code)?
