My agenda is to find some data either in support of or disproving
a theory I have about a timing related issue.

I realize that we may instead end up with some entirely different
data which proves that we should not carry 386[sd]x support forward
in RELENG_5.  If so I can live with that, I'll have to find another
way to find "my" datapoints then.

I also don't think we should even think about redecorating this
particular bikeshed at this time.  If two weeks from now nobody has
managed to get -current on a genuine 386[sd]x CPU, then we have a
new data point which might merit discussion.  Right we would just
have the usual arm-chair generals and pundits pounding their pulpits.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
