Yes. I found them useful too but some people (including Andrew ;) were too argumentative about it so i asked you to remove them from this patch-set. So yes, it's all going the way of the dodo.
And yes, i attribute the excellent stability of the x86 code in this cycle partly to the effect of impact lines. They really helped us be very conscious with dangerous changes.
