Well, if the installer ever holds etch, we can think about it. Right now,
the installer is not even semi-close to being the worst problem.

The answer to that is to setup a dist-cc cluster for these archs, where only
the master node is in the slow arch, and everything else is a fast arch.
i.e. far stricter buildd requirements would fix it. Even mirror space
problems can be fixed without dropping an arch.
