However, looking at the Pentium Overdrive pinout the extra row of pins doesn’t seem to be at all essential. There is a number of extra power points and some signalling pins to support L1 cache coherency when using write-back. Nothing too m

My take on that is that it's up to the kernel maintainers to unban them. If they end up the investigation with: "Yeah, that was bad but we won't do anything about it", it's unlikely to get the banning side to move a

This is a critical part to consider in "current" fusion research. Most of it rely on the deuterium / tritium fusion which will probably require a classic nuclear plant to generate the fuel. This makes the whole "infinite
