If I may pipe in here -- I also see no need for *all* the sub-arches we |
| 10 |
offer. So I'm glad you're thinking of this route -- I think it might be |
| 11 |
still ok to offer x86, 486, 586 and 686. Honestly, 686 is the sub-arch |
| 12 |
that least needs GRP -- provided we keep in mind that GRP's sole raison |
| 13 |
d'etre is fast install. The slower sub-arches are what need the boost |
| 14 |
more than p4, ath-xp, ath-mp, p3, and god knows what else we have on the |
| 15 |
mirrors. |
