7 If you haven't figured out the reason we are pushing for this sort of
8 thing yet, it is because x86 is unsupported in Gentoo (if you consider
9 what all the other arches have to do to be "supported"). As a result,
10 it causes the quality of the portage tree to suffer. Time and time
11 again, it has been brought up that x86 should have an arch team, yet
12 nobody ever acts on it. Well, merging the "two" arches will help solve
13 this problem.
