I doubt it. Merced has already become so bloated that HP has realised
it will never be possible to fit in 0.25 um, which is why it will have
to wait for 0.18. Furthermore the design databases have become so
bloated that 32-bit machines are not capable of doing the design-rule
checking... they've moved that to Alphas! Or so the rumour-mill sez.
