When it comes to the ISA code, I don't think that anyone will fault you for
cleaning up that mess and producing something that is much better albeit
not backward compatible.  I don't think that FreeBSD is at the point where
we can make any guarantees that our development branch will be 100%
backwards compatible with prior releases if we want to make forward
progress.
