Not surprised about the G5 or the Power4. However, the AMD64 is the

architecture that Red Hat currently is trying to support dual architecture
under a single OS (If you ignore the i386/i586/i686/athlon support). The
problem is that with the AMD64 you want most of the packages in the
distribution to be 64 bit with support to run other (user) 32 bit
applications.
Incorrect, we do similar on zSeries (s390x is 64-bit with 31-bit
compatibility) and i/pSeries (userspace is mostly 32-bit with some
64-bit compatibility at present) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
