The rationale for this move has been discussed on a number of occasions
in the past, can I recommend a quick search through the e-mail archives
and a review of that previous debate.
A quick search resulted only in (valid) descriptions of multi-arch
superiority, and dicta that old targets shall convert or die. It
didn't answer my question above. Perhaps you could spare time for
a more specific pointer?
Interesting. I didn't say the search would be easy.
