I gather that they started doing that silly "cleanup" long before PPC970 was put on paper, not even first silicon. Ok, keep the "fix" in, but #ifdef it on Philip_Koch or something and don't penalize all Power clients, please.
Macro names should be all uppercase and start with BOOST... How about BOOST_MIRO_JURISIC_AND_PHILIP_KOCH? Jokes aside, I think that we should postpone this decision until after 1.33 is released. Maybe even #ifdef on __APPLE__, if you insist. Are you sure that keeping a reservation alive for extended periods of time does not incur a performance penalty, BTW? Could this be the reason for the preliminary technical note?
