Actually, I do not recall having screwed alpha users on any other time. I recall FICL stuff not working on alpha at all at the beginning, because of memory problems, and loader getting screwed on alpha by someone else with a non-ficl related change that also pushed it over the memory limit (though ficl was a suspect at that time, because the bug _manifested_ itself only when it got to ficl). > I want the backing of Core that NO FICL upgrades or major .4th changes > can be committed until they have been tested (compiled and booted) on all > platforms.
