What are the reasons that only i386 matters to you?

I feel many people choose NetBSD on i386 to give them the
flexibility of changing the hardware layer out for a higher
performance system without loosing everything else. People
who are willing to lock themselves into i386s may be just
fine with your cards, but I know the machine-dependence
of the card would lower it in my favour. Not eliminate it
perhaps, but lower it. (for me)

See my previous message regarding "clearly" and "you".
