Chris pointed out that there are developer who switched their arch at least once, and other who don't have access to the same arch all the time (x86 on work, $arch at home). So the point is: even without alpha ordering, you _cannot rely_ on the precious 'implicit information' you want to store in keyword ordering. And to quote on of my teachers: unreliable information is worse than no information at all. > The point is that with his reordering implicit information was lost for > no particular purpose. There was no added value in ordering keywords, No, you're wrong here: you couldn't rely on it from the beginning, so nothing was lost...
