There are a lot of inline-asm related bugs in the compiler. I'm hitting them almost daily (I'm writing a kernel, so a fair bit of asm is going on here). You can see them in the bug tracker[0].

Stabilizing inline asm in its current form would be a mistake. It's simply not ready.

"not ready, bugs." Is a perfectly good reason to hold it back. Thanks.
