My 2c on the topic is that trying to do multi-arch during a project early days 
is bad.

Usually during the project boostrap one needs to go and try different 
solutions, often rewrite some code and architecture before it matures to a nice 
design and if you have multiple platforms to support then you end doing that 
for all the platforms, that takes time and hurt iterations to get a better 
final design. It tends to be better to finish in one platform and then port to 
other systems.

Of course this is given that engineers are not naïve enough to fall in some 
traps... from my experience the Crosswalk team is free of that kind of 
engineers :-D
