I guess I'm mostly worried by certain common cases.  Take for example
the 93 vendors who just offer i386 media and consider somebody that
needs amd64 discs.  Grouping architectures together would still affect a
decent amount of people, I think.  The fact that the list may be
outdated is another bad problem, though- perhaps emails could be sent to
try and verify the information?
