Can we we 100% sure it does no harm, even on other archs than i386?
I would think the risk of breaking other systems/installations outweighs
the advantage of working around a known issue for what is still a small
group of users.

Not as it is documented now, but that could be improved in the run-up to
the release of Sarge (errata, release notes, manual?).
Maybe it is time to start formulating a policy on what type of issues
should be documented in which document and how these should be
distributed.
