Right; there probably are some things that fail in LRA (that do not fail
without it), as well.  The question is just if it is good enough to switch
now -- LRA has a bright future, old reload is fossilised, it is clear
which of the two is the way forward.

For Power it took a loooong time before we could switch.  Hopefully it is
much less work now (LRA itself has improved a lot since).
