I would like to offer a counter-proposal - no package is accepted

Fedora (ARM?) until it stops generating misalignment warnings. That way
there might actually be some effort toward getting things fixed rather
than just glazing over the problem. From what I can see, relatively few
things in the base distribution do actually trip the problem (one
exception being DeviceKit-disks package that I mentioned earlier - will
file a bugzilla on that later).
This proposal sounds far more reasonable, and it has the added benefit
that other similar architectures in future won't have to worry about
alignment biting - and besides, while ARMv7 is pretty much safe, there's
a lot of older stuff out there (ARMv4 is now officially deprecated, but
that leaves several other architecture revisions in current use).
