yes, definitely, my syslinux patch is useless.
I did not expect such option exists when such ISO still has not been released
while waiting for it the recent years.
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 ;-)
