Subject: [gentoo-user] stage3 only for i486?

Hi all gentoo people!
I've been away from gentoo for a while, and I'm in the process of
reinstalling it today.
While downloading the stage 3 I noticed that only an i486 version is
available. As far as I remember, gentoo was best known, back in the
days, for being fast, as it was one of the first distro to support
i686... am i wrong with this? if not, why only i486 today?

apart from the reasons behind the decision of shipping only an i486
stage 3, do you think it's worth the pain to recompile everything
(like the old stage1) for a different arch? i have an intel i5
processor.

regards

Davide
