My guess is that leaving out a certain binary for certain architectures
is rather a technical exercise for you than of any relevant practival
effect for our users. So if you want to undergo this exercise (which is
not necessrily a stupid idea) feel free to do so. If you feel your time
is better spent with something else we should simply drop i386 which has
lost practical relevance (I do not say that I really like that fact and
I know good reasons why we should try hard to support all architectures
but its a fact anyway).
Kind regards
Andreas.
