I'm considering dropping athlon architecture since I see no real gain over 
i686. athlon would be deleted from ftp and athlon->i686 symlink created.

The other platform is ppc. There is unforuntately close to zero developers 
solving ppc related bugs :-( ppc would be moved to unsupported or something 
like unofficial sparc (AIDA) as seen on ftp. Someone would have to step in to 
maintain this.

Opinions? Current plan is to do this on a incoming weekend.
