Well, with this, we could make an entire Processor toplevel category, then categorize it by something arbitrary (x86, DEC, whatever)... under x86, put:
Intel, AMD, IBM, Cyrix. or 386, 486, Pentium, PPro, PII.
Then list each processor for that company and it's associated optimizations and/or bugfixes... I'm not dealing with non-intel processors just yet.. Don't know enough about them.
