That didn't come across right. It was not my intention to make it sound
like the ASM files have no value. I think it's great that they are doing
this, and I'm sure somebody at MS spent a lot of (personal and probably
unfunded) effort into making it happen.
When I saw the announcement, I was hoping to see the machinery that made
this code so portable, and I was disappointed that it's not the entire
thing.
