| While it can be simple to do for sparc or ppc that has relatively |
| 15 |
| less users, and with no need for binary compatibility for -bin |
| 16 |
| packages, it's probably going to be a *great* pain for both users AND |
| 17 |
| developers of x86 and amd64 platforms (most probably for the latter, |
| 18 |
| as x86 has basically no needs for multilib and so on). |
