There are people working on being able to make dual arch live images. So I
think there is at least some interest in having both i686 and x64_86
images at the same time.

Personally is think this is mostly useful for rescue USB devices, since to fix
some things you want to boot with the same arch as the OS you are fixing.
But other people may have other reasons for doing this.
