Not in my opinion but IIRC in 2008 or so some other
subsystem maintainer beat us up for not allowing it
to build on every other platform, and the rationale given
was that allowin this to build on e.g. x86_64 gives some
nice compile coverage.

I don't know which argument wins :-)

Theoretically (it's just a bunch of regulators etc when all comes
around), but it won't happen since these components
are not sold separately.
