From reading this description:

On contrary it may also break your drivers and add │ │ priority inheritance problems to your system. Don't select it if │ │ you rely on a stable system or have slightly obscure hardware. │ │ It's also not very well tested on x86-64 currently. I can see its not completely supported amd64, before rebuilding my currently stable myth frontend/backend with support for this, has anyone on list actually tested on amd64 with this enabled?
