unless by default you make the i386 architecture the one with the
actual ports tree and you carry the i386 architecture.  are there any
official mirrors that don't carry at least i386 in addition to
any others ?

i'm not trying to create any extra work here - just trying to
figure out how to get things consistent.. or perhaps i am
suffering from obsessive compulsive behaviour after all..

and while we're at it.. there were a few other questions
about some other directories...
