Clearly, this is not about the current architecture, it is about a newer,
Intel-specific, micro architecture.

Based on the impact described above, I wouldn't consider the
change
system-wide.
But I think we touch an interesting topic here: It seems our
definition of Change is quite limited and focused on packaged changes.
And the work we propose doesn't really fit in this framework. I'm
going to start a separate thread on it.
This will have affects across the entire distro, and would potentially require
changes to a number of Packages to fix either compile-time or run-time issues.
