17 Serving /usr for serveral hosts of different ARCHes, like in the example, this
18 would imply that fe. X would be compiled for x86, but the amd64 ARCH using the
19 /usr won't be able to use that X version (in 64 bit) imho. . If i'm correct then
20 why use the same /usr for different ARCHes. I don't feel that this provides
21 improvement to the system.
