It would become a manpower, resources, and management issue. It would imply doubling the number of chroots, which are high maintenance. It would also involve two new Entropy repositories. And, while it may not double the number of isos, I could easily see 6 or 8 new isos. We already have issues adequately testing the isos we currently generate, and have been trying to reduce them. Developer manpower (person-power sp?) is probably the most limited resource we currently have at Sabayon. Whether you want to say "not possible" or "not practical", the net result is that with our current manpower, we can't take on this many new responsibilities.
