If the specific exceptions only come after people like Edd are actually using the software and finding that it is much more usable with the optimization bump, what's the harm? I think per-architecture tweaks to specific ports are okay, as long as they've been thoroughly tested on that architecture, are needed to make the software more usable or better performing, and don't make it less stable.
