To be honest, if I was against it, the reasons have long been swapped 
out of my brain.  And since those machines with pretenses of ISA-type 
buses are fading away in terms of actual users, I don't really mind if 
they are not consolidated.  As long as those machines with PCI or none 
of it can rely on shared definitions that should be good enough.
