NONONONO SEE THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT

It is primary. That's all. It is a primary arch. In all the actual
meanings of that term. It is not 'in practice' secondary. It is
primary. "In practice secondary" is a bad way to describe what you're
trying to say and just confuses things. Please don't. :)

If people want to lobby for i686 to be made a secondary arch, in the
true meaning of that term, I'm completely fine with that. I just want
to make sure anyone who says it is actually clear on what it means, and
that it is, in fact, what they want.
