IMO it negatives impacts the workflow when you -remove- the ability to set 32/64-bit on the make command line.
Building and testing for both architectures now requires the additional step of editing .config, which is a clear workflow negative impact at least for me.
I switch between other cross-compiled arches (alpha, usually) on the makefile command line
Yes, I know other 32/64-bit arches require .config editing. That doesn't change the basic fact that this is a workflow regression.
