I decided to split the difference, by leaving in the gates, but fusing off the functionality. That way, if I was right about Itanium and what AMD would do, Intel could very quickly get back in the game with x86. As far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what did happen.

I'm sure he got a massive bonus for this decision, when all the suits realized he was right and he'd saved their asses. /s
