I would be delighted to be able to install _and use_ two independent set of packages from the same base system install. Without recursing to jails, X forwarding, etc. In fact I would like to use /usr/local and e.g /usr/local-i386 on amd64 machine. I am fine with me building both of them in my instance of poudriere. But indeed I am not sure if this worth the effort of many people, for many hours. If it puts too high burden on everybody, then it is not a good feature. Otherwise, it is very convenient in some situations.
