   And you would cripple the 99% usage to aid those users who move disk
   drives physically over to a sparc box AND have more than 31k links to a
   file?

This is not a sparc or a x86 or x86_64 or ia64 thing.

It's a global thing.

It's about being portable and clean and not installing unnecessary
restrictions.
