The other side of the argument is that by making a system well-designed and
portable, *every* platform comes out ahead.  ISTR that Debian uncovered some
deep-seated bugs in X and GCC that only manifested on non-x86 platforms.
Fixing those bugs made life better for everyone.  I believe that the
installer folks have the same philosophy.
