Oh not this thread again!
Processor specific optimizations for i386 is debated approx every 2 months
on debian-devel, plus or minus other distributions PR campaigns.

I think I can safely speak for everyone on debian-devel as per this:
1) The difference in overall speed is small, and rarely publically
reported.
The 1% gain is individually considered either vital must-have, or
worthless.
2) The archive disk space required expands.
This is individually considered either intolerably huge or not worth
mentioning.
3) In a question of "good taste" like this, one developer can't force
another developer to either do this or not do this.
If you want to do this, no one can stop you.
