[CentOS-devel] Why does CentOS 5 claim to be i386 compatible when it's really not?

Thanks, but I've already installed CentOS 4.8 which does support i586.

It's not. It's just a general wondering as to why one would refer to 
something as i386 when in reality it's i686 instead. I for one can't 
understand the logic behind it, that's all. No hard feelings, no pressure 
blowout whatsoever.
