This is incorrect. There are many ia64 development systems. Not to
mention that production machines will almost definately be available
long before 2.6 is released (based on past development timelines).
Also, look at the number of changes that were made outside of arch/ia64.
I think I can count them all on one hand and they were all bug fixes. Do
you realistically think this affects stability of say, an x86 system?

This is incorrect as well. It is not the default.

I have to agree here. However, some of your examples were poor.
