At least a lot of people have DragonFly running on a lot of machines in
production environments.  All backend servers in our working group are
based on DF.

There might be older installations out in the wild whose tools depend on
the amd64/ link, e.g. pkg_radd/pkg_search.

So what's the issue with having two entries with the same target in the
directory of a mirror server?  Even if there is a README which explains
that amd64 == x86_64. *scratcheshishead*
