No, very good:

- Adding more x86 support allows OE to be remain more clean and
architecture-independent.
- Not everything is ARM.
- We have seen adding powerpc support fix some generic OE issues,
adding more x86 support will fix additional issues I'm sure.
- Although x86 might not always be resource limited platforms, it
doesn't mean you shouldn't use OE, or uclibc.

Kudos,
