    Emulation is probably a better strategy than hardware compatibility, since future machines will have the chops to emulate current machines.

      Emulation is the only thing that can long-term battle the difficulties of physical platforms evolving. Doubt x86_64 will be in main consumer hardware forever. I don’t even know if ARM will be forever. It’s all just a matter of timescale.
