I'm talking about current situation.

Just to be clear, did it take 4 years? :)

Anyway, I already made conclusions, as probably others: I will
experiment with different 'workarounds' for this bug, maybe I will
succeed, maybe Intel will decided to fix it, maybe LHC will crash the
world. Verbose warning about the bug was frowned upon, so its up to uses
to make a progress here...
