No reason, simple oversight. Also, a good 75% of the x86 testers are still
on 32-bit and covering the main volume is what such changes tend to aim for
primarily. The remaining 25% is nice to have too :)

If you notice such things - or if you have anything in the Fedora srpm that
you think is worth mainlining, just drop us a patch - it's apprecitated.
