With the 386 architecture (32-bit), they actually cleaned it up quite a
bit.  I won't go nearly so far as to say that 386 is elegant, but when
running in 32-bit mode with flat addressing it's nowhere near as awful as
16-bit 8086 and 286.  AMD did a pretty good job of further extending that
to 64-bit.  However, it does keep accumulating ever more bags on the side.

I hope RISC-V eventually drives a stake through it.
