With 7 or 8 MD directories, an arch subdirectory is not too much to ask
for. I can imagine that people wonder if and when we're going to reach
that count and until then don't see the need to reorganize.
With currently 3 MD directories and at least 3 coming up (including
ia64), I'd say that now is probably the best time to introduce the
subdirectory...
