How many SKUs do you want to maintain for "F# for Numerics"?

Which of the following scenarios would be more useful to you?

1) IBM create an F# compiler that runs only on the IBM z10 and produces
native executables for that platform.

2) IBM create a CLR for the IBM z10 that runs the CIL produced by
Microsoft's F# compiler?
