The problem I see with this is that MIPS is a tier-3 platform afaik and we don't have real MIPS hardware to test on. So what do we do when we break the MIPS simulator build? What if we add a new feature that requires MIPS assembler + simulator changes, something similar to the float32 work that happened? We can do our best to apply changes/refactorings etc also to the MIPS directory, but I don't think we can keep MIPS working at all cost with no way to test it...
