+Would it be possible to have the base system and non-graphical tools 
+compiled for i586, and the big desktops (KDE, gnome) and multimedia 
+applications compiled for i686 or better?
+
+Would it be possible, in the (yet to be setup) build system that each 
+package define the minimum architecture it want to support?
+In such a system, the maintainers could decide if it is worth to provide a 
+more optimized package or if the compatibility with older hardware should be 
+maintained.
+
+I don't know if it is possible to mix i586 libraries with i686 programs, 
+would this be a problem?
