Well, manylinux1 is spec'ed to be x86_64 and i686 only, and we already
implemented the supported architectures list in pip:

  
https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/491294f61e37d766720aead97b4fb008cfc2e51d/pip/pep425tags.py#L146

so that part's not a big deal either way, but it's certainly more
efficient to share all the spec and tooling work :-)

That page seems to say that for CentOS 7 they only support x86_64?
