I agree that this is true when all machines are the same, but when you have 
mixed types of machines in the network, this would not be the good idea. In 
case there are old machines I think that there must be packages for each 
machine type (i386, i486, ...). Yes not to all kinds but to these what the 
system is managed to manage! Am I right? In this case the second variant (with 
compilation) would be more efficient or the new naming scheme must be required.
