I don't think its going to get any design starts, nor is that the intent. There are companies with rock solid legacy applications that want to continue to run them on newer hardware. VMS first ran on the VAX (long dead), then Alpha (dead), and finally Itanium (recently dead). x86 will let these legacy apps run for a few more decades.
