Is it just me or does there appear to be a "CRUX SECRET UNDERGROUND",
it seems there's a lot of discussion that doesn't even make it to
-devel...

Well yeah, it is kinda ugly I guess. But it did make life easy for me
by allowing automatic merging with the official repos, and being
perhaps the only 64bit multilib CRUX user I'm sure the reasons for such
a feature are apparent.

I initially looked at using the repo-per-architecture setup, but there
was too much hand editing involved, I had to essentially edit 2 ports
every time there was a version change. This also made writing compat32
ports rather tedious.

But it seems this is the way we are going, so I guess I'll start
splitting up my multiarch repos. Perhaps git-rebase -i can make merging
a bit less hassle.
