I don=E2=80=99t feel like distributing two variants of the ISO per architec= ture. In addition to the fact that it would take up more space on the GNU servers, I suspect few users would know which one to choose (I wouldn=E2=80=99t.) It=E2=80=99s also something other distros don=E2=80=99t= do: you get only one ISO per architecture. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
