Some vendors are incompetent.  Take that into account when deciding whether or 
not to use their products.

My pet peeve right now is that Paul Brook has ARMv6 and ARMv7 code for qemu 
finished, but ARM is refusing to let him integrate it into qemu because he 
was dumb enough to sign an NDA and Arm Inc. bought an emulator company they 
want to make money off of.  So until somebody who hasn't signed an NDA with 
arm reimplements support from the spec and examination of actual hardware, 
ARMv6 and ARMv7 essentially do not exist, as far as I'm concerned.  They'll 
run ARMv5 code and _like_ it.
