You know, for a lot of developers and hobbyist  the non x86 processor
is not an exotic but the everyday routine and many of them can compile
the corresponding cross-compiler without help.

Yes, I think it's good product in this case without doubts but not all
needs this. I just want to tell why not just give simple description
of the architecture as is with out any support for the open hardware
enthusiasts to merge the projects.
