I can't speak for anyone else, but I definitely have discussed this 
issue with a large number of people.  I can't tell you in which specific 
fora, because it usually became a very brief conversation since there 
really is only one plausible answer (*especially* in the light of the 
precedents set by other architectures.)

Ingo's mention of it on LKML in this email:

... is pretty typical of how the conversation usually went.
