Bad taste - no.  A magnet for bugs - yes.

Mind you, I suspect that this sort of thing (a computing device with 
more than one type of CPU sharing the memory and other resources) might 
become more prevalent in the future.  If it does, then the binutils will 
need to adapt to be able to handle generating executables for such devices.
