Not fiercely at all, I just thought it was worth noting
this changed assumption.  The support that's there isn't
really used yet.

At some level it comes down to how much discipline TI
will be adopting in its design processes.  DaVinci has
seemed to produce a bit less variability in critical
details than OMAP ... I'd guess in part because the
design teams started with more of a "catalog chips"
model, and partly because of less bleeding-edge tech.
