It is not default unless abi_x86_32 & friends are enabled; old
behavior is preserved until these flag are default in multilib profiles.
It is also not stable until the multilib deps are stable, which is
independent of packages having the || dep being stable. If there is a
need then useflags can be masked on stable also so that, again,
behavior remains the same on stable.
