we should celebrate it - it gets us a bit back into the situation of fast hardware progress due to competition like it was back in 80-90ties. The x86/64 has been great (in no small part because it was the "natural selection" winner of that tough competition with RISCs/etc.), yet the last decade of lackluster progress is the direct result of its own unchallenged dominance and the resulting failure to adapt. >losing our legacy "legacy" is mostly a bad word in the tech, so shouldn't we celebrate losing it too ? :)
