It doesn't fail now, or shouldn't. Or if it does, please email this
list a log of the failed build.

They should be.

I protest to your protest ! :)
I don't see what the big deal is. Sure it's a waste of some space in
that most docs are not arch-specific, but do you really think it's
better for newbies to see all the vargaries of i386 booting, alpha
booting, etc etc? How about the section where we talking about what
files to download and install?
