  1. Since Intel's #GraniteRapids identifies as Family 19, does that mean we're looking at i1986 (after 3 decades of i686)?
    Obviously i686/amd64 binaries will continue to work, but i1986 binaries won't work at all on older systems. (Current ISA extensions can often be used behind ifunc dispatch - but APX wants to affect *everything*.)
    This seems like a perfect opportunity for an #ABI break, no?
