This is crazy. Like why not baby start to eat spaghetti, rice or noodle. Just to attack people then and said they are silly not to think ahead, totally ignore nearly all have to handle transition due to advance in chip technology. The fact all had to do that meant it is human fact to learn not to ignore.
One lesson is to check and not allow i.e. not ignore the address bit, like DEC (but where is DEC now btw). Tbh, look at C. How many features are not allowed but just undefined in that standard. Hence even that I wonder is there some reason we have to accept human fallibility and deal with it.
Anyway easy to comment on hindsight. What I think more important is say it cannot be done and hence no way forward but totally new architecture. X86 cannot do 64 bit say … it ended up confusing me why we have amd-64 in an Intel cpu …
What we need is like Apple somehow force migration except Apple II, we have from Mac OS … 9 … x … macOS with hardware change …
IBM mainframe is still running and the 24 bit is a feature not a bug or mistake from a marketing point of view.
