For the installer, porting is a major effort, because architectural
differences are greatest when dealing with the hardware at a low level
such as during partitioning/booting. i386 is the _best_-understood.
Then once you get something done, you also have to get it documented
and translated. I think for woody+1 we could have other options
available on an experimental basis, but that b-f would be our
recommendation for those that d-i doesn't work for (which could be
quite a few).
