That still doesn't excuse then breaking _other_ peoples work.

Right. 

And Andi, remember the problems with that one? Remember how I ended up 
refusing to 'git pull' from you? (Also look at how it failed to work well 
for Ingo and Thomas as well, and how people complained about that? It's 
not just you.)

In other words, "That is how the old x86-64 tree used to NOT work".
