The problem wasn't in our code, it was in the database code that was either from open source or from a vendor.

If you want a sample. Try to install the cassandra client library in python. It will pull in and compile all sort of shit. That's supposed to be python and easily cross platform.

Reading the comments here flow something like this: 1. complain that switching to ARM is a mess 2. no it's not a mess, it's easy 3. no, see it's a mess 4. fine, clean up the mess.

Yes, we should clean up the mess! It doesn't mean it's not a mess. And I think the mess is actually still understated.

I think it will come down to PRs accepted. So it's your mess in the end as it depends on the companies strategy.
