Yes it would be, but it's not a necessary thing :)

It is a _very_ big change. It hits every architecture. It was the
right thing to do in 2.5, I'm just questioning if it's the right thing
to do in 2.4 because of the magnitude of it.
So, if people say it's ok, I'll do it. But I would like to hear from
the PPC64 group first, as I know I caused them a lot of grief and rework
because of it.
