I think the point is that you can be no more certain that
Mr. Hartman's problems were *not* caused by setting the -march flag to
i686 than I can be absolutely certain that they were. Given no better
than 50/50 certainty, however, the warning appeared prudent given that
we're unlikely to know with anything substantially better than 50/50
on release day and the penalty for being "wrong" is fairly high,
whereas the penalty for being "right" is no worse than a gratuitous
warning which scares a few people away from an option which wouldn't
have saved them anything truly substantial in any case.
