       Sigh. I agree with Linus about big endian being silly, but NOT his follow up list:https://youtu.be/msOkPRBCJlghttps://lkml.iu.edu/2510.0/01052.htmlBranch delay slots and aligned access are about saving transistors in embedded designs, especially from companies that don't have $10 million per custom ASIC run.There's a certain amount of "all the world's a vax, we're beyond the need for diversity" going on among the greybeards. Linux development is reminding me STRONGLY of the early 90's unix community.
