The point is that the developers don't want to get a bunch of bug reports for things that might be i586-specific problems. They are saying "we've tested the package that is built using this PKGBUILD on i686 and/or x86_64, and if you have a problem with it let us know, but if you use this PKGBUILD to build for some other architecture, you're on your own".

Well, that's exactly what it means now. But the devs don't want to go to the work of doing that on i586, because arch is an i686/x86_64-optimized distribution, and has never claimed to be "tried and working" on i586.
Is that the opinion of all the developers? If it is so, I have to consider forking off my own distribution based on archlinux. It simplifies some things, since I can deviate and don't have to care for policies and so on. But forks can create extra trouble in the future, and it always splits up human resources. Anyway, I already have archi586 running, and currently I am mostly spending time with bugs in archlinux, and not so much with the i586 implementation. Karolina
