Wrenches are really handy tools... I really like wrenches, we should
be able to make wrenches do more.  Any reason I can't use one to drive
a nail?  How about gardening?

While I too would love to see an ARM system that could replace a
frontend or two... and while it is technically possible... it's simply
not the right tool for the job.  That's not to say that you should
give up on it ever happening... ARM systems are getting faster and
more open, so perhaps next year someone will demonstrate a reliable
working frontend on one.

And if we are really lucky someone might add a hammer head to a wrench
so we can finally stop denting up our walls when hanging pictures.
