That'd be a huuuuuge waste of mirror space, I think. Just look how large
the archives are already. Some CPU-critical packages can be recompiled
and put on a separate apt repository, but creating two more
architectures for speed's sake would be a waste.
(A similar discussion about i686-optimized packages has been on Debian
