Taking stuff out of the kernel

Besides the ext2 stuff, can we at least have separate distributions for
x86, alpha, sparc, etc? i don't need anything but good ol' intel code,
and the rest of it's pretty big:
--
root@mossad:/usr/src/linux/arch => # du -s -c *
297     alpha
677     i386
224     mips
216     ppc
597     sparc
2011    total
root@mossad:/usr/src/linux/arch => #
--
Figuring that even if everything was compressed 3:1, that will still make 
linux-1.3.x.tar.gz smaller by.. oh.. about, 400k, for intel users, which 
i imagine make up about 95% of linux users right now.
