Your sarcasm aside, I've never understood this argument. There are a *zillion* distros out there that only support x86, or x86 + some very small number of other platforms. Debian is one of only a few with a broad range of supported platforms; that's one of the things that makes it different. Why should that be given up? Why in the world do we need *yet another* x86-only distro? Also, can you give me one concrete example of how this has held up the release of Sarge? What problem with what platform has been a real hold-up for the Sarge release? > 3.

Can you give me one concrete example of how this, also, has held up the release of Sarge? The desire to include what new version of what software has caused a hold-up with Sarge?
