We generally do it anyway because on common cores (cortex-a8) VFP is pretty terrible and the NEON approximation is correct for the vast majority of use-cases that people care about. Yes, that's cutting some corners. Would you mind making this change depend on platform? Darwin should continue to use NEON by default for these operations.</div>
