I think one of its points of it are to be able to have one installation-cd, usb-key instead of having one for x86 and one for x64, and also being able to generate such without downloading a new distribution. He also claims the overhead isn't linear regarding architecture as sections get reused. It has some good points, and I don't think it would be bad to support it (if someone wanted to do it), but creating and using those fat binaries, from distributor/builder pov, would probably be the big problem and too much work. /Fredrik Holmqvist, TQH
