I never disagreed with that.  I said:

"I don't see how different the result will be from today's state,
so I don't see the big benefit...  That'd take us further from being
able to use the code on other archs, but if you want to do it, fine with
me."

and

"you can't make libunwind-frame.c ia64-exclusive (whatever that means,
though I assume basically file and function renaming) without fixing the
libunwind.h header problem."

And indeed, this doesn't bring back libunwind.h, so I'm fine with it.
