Guys, can we get over this already.. really every linux developer runs
x86, except the very few that don't. We all try to ensure we don't
accidentally break things, shit happens, deal with it.

!x86 breaking more often than x86 is a simple consequence of statistics,
if you don't like it, make your hardware sexy and send it to more
devs ;-)

Build breakages aren't a big deal, they get sorted, life moves on. If
they wouldn't get sorted there might be something to complain about, but
afaict that doesn't happen.

Paul, you put a tracing patch into the sh tree, didn't cc the tracing
folks and then found it broke when the tracing tree was added, *gosh*!?

That will happen with pretty much every other subsystem too, that's what
we have subsystem tree's for, I think enough has been arranged to
mitigate this issue in the future - lets go fix some real bugs now? :-)
