feasibility and commitment, I am happy to stop depending on
architecture-is-big-endian.
Do I assume correctly that this paragraph had big and little endianness
swapped, and in fact you are removing scientific/statistical software from the
now-rare big-endian architectures (s390x and some -ports) and the surviving
32-bit architectures (armhf, i386 and -ports), while leaving it intact on the
more common 64-bit little-endian architectures (amd64 and so on)?
Obviously, see prior discussion:
