I wouldn't call Itanium a successor to x86, any more than SPARC was
(recall that early Sun boxes were x86). As you mentioned,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't amd64 and ia64 architectures
nearly the same? Beside 3dnow/sse instruction sets of course.
If so, shouldn't we have the same kewords (amd64 ia64, ~amd64 ~ia64
or none) on every package that don't use 3dnow/sse instructions?
I only ask this because I think
