Which way did the myth go? I am unclear on your statement.
In my experience, which admittedly does not include all members of our industry, most people are using `packed` in the same way that Gentoo users were using `-funroll-loops`. In fact, less than 2 hours ago I had to inform my worst colleague (all time career worst) that `aligned(N)` means AT LEAST N, not exactly N. Same colleague also goes along with widely-believed error that `assume_aligned` somehow makes it safe to do incorrectly-aligned accesses, when what it really does is causes the compiler to continue instead of aborting when it sees your code which is obviously wrong.
