This avoids the lose of:

I think you're overestimating how many folks think this is a big deal.

Chinese users?
Indian users?

Is this really an overestimation?

but it's not ALL chinese or indian users.

it's a subset who happen to need i386 pkgs and who happen to have  an
x86_64 box.

And then above that it's the subset of users who cannot figure out how
to cut and paste the command they need from a faq.

-sv

This is "making stuff just work" vs. "eliminate all i386".

We are a making a serious mistake here catering to the MINORITY of users who want the latter.
