Well, it creates arch-neutral common code, teaches various architectures
use it.  It's the sort of thing we do all the time.

These things are opportunities to eliminate crufty arch code which few
people understand and replace them with new, clean common code which lots
of people understand.  That's not a bad thing to be doing.
I'm not fundamentally against that, but so far it seems to just generate lots of 
new bugs?  I'm not sure it's really worth the pain.
