The main objection last time was that it was a bit too late in the 
release schedule.

I can't remember anyone really questioning the basic feature itself.

ia64 is interested (but no code so far) I talked to DaveM and he seems to be 
interested for sparc too.  I would expect other server architectures to 
eventually use it as they get around to writing the necessary architecture
