Why do gentoo users make such a huge deal out of this?

Would you be interested in adding the athlon arch if everything builds 
correctly? I can check all those packages. Basically, I am interested to 
know whether the packages in question really do *require* i386 and i386 
only to work correctly, or whether simply nobody has checked (or cares) 
whether this will work when compiled for athlon...
