Yeah, but each arch does all langs for it's boot-floppies upload. So the
total is what I was refering to.

It can most likely be done, if things are layed out properly, so it does
not confuse the users. In fact, it may be easier to maintain aswell. I
know from my experience trying to update the sparc docs, it was very
difficult to go through and see where things needed to be updated, aswell
as where things needed to be added. Things just have to be broken down
properly.
When that time comes (well after potato release, when I have some time),
I'll do a formal sample layout, and submit it before approval.
