Well I spent a lot of time making the x86-64 timing code work well on a variety of machines; working around a wide variety of hardware and platform bugs. I obviously don't agree on your description of its maintenance state.

I told him my objections privately earlier. Basically i would like to see an actually debuggable step-by-step change, not a rip everything out.
If that isn't possible it needs very careful review which just hasn't happened yet. But I'm not convinced even step by step is not possible here.
I thought it was clear that rip everything out is rarely a good idea in Linux land? That's really not something I should need to harp on repeatedly.
