I am, but I've never demanded that FreeBSD's use of "i386" and "ia32" be
changed.  AMD has affected the modern 32-bit x86 architecture as much as
Intel has.  AMD paid all the millions and millions for the ISV & IHV
support.  W/o AMD going to market with this design there would be no
"ia32e" from Intel.  Intel had no choice and was totally forced by the
market to do their "ia32e".  We owe honoring AMD by calling the platform
"amd64".
