For a *live CD* I believe this is less of a concern, as, while the
fact that you can install software is neat, it's not the main selling

Now, if you start thinking about a live USB stick, this changes. Of
course, that doesn't have the same space constraints.
LiveCD matters as one can install to the system from the LiveCD, and they'll
be left with an install that cannot do multilib without installing a bunch
more stuff. If it weren't for the fact that the LiveCD is installable (and
by the looks of our download numbers many people may be taking that route) I
probably wouldn't have that much objection.
