I think the politics of how the decision was made are more important than the technical merits of the decision. Given that, apparently, some community members decided to make RVC mandatory without telling the rest of the committee, I think the only right thing to do is to recompile distros without RVC and live with it. Then, the large binaries and icache pressure will stand as a permanent reminder of how not to make a decision. Also, is it possible to use only a handful of RVC-enabled binaries on a system that otherwise doesn't use RVC? If so, it might not be so bad.
