So yeah, the problem we get with i386/x86_64 hybrids is more that we 
would reduce the available size to either of the Live images to half a 
CD or half a DVD. Some of our spins fit on half a DVD, but not half a 
CD. If some spins have separate media for each arch, and others do not, 
then that may work confusing.

That said though, I don't think we've had this kinda thing discussed or 
decided upon... so it's a good point ;-)
