So what do mean with "by design" here ?

(We all know that Linus wrote his first versions on and for x386, but that is 
bit like historical note nowadays.)

I am not aware of possible engineering issues here, but I think that in MeeGo 
it is politically incorrect statement to assume that ARCH=x86 is generic 
default. By following your explanation (earlier on the thread) of the usage of 
those config files I would assume that ACRH=x86 is specified in architecture 
specifig config file.
