No, I don't believe that was ever actually said at all. Certainly not this
year.
What was said was that with ARCH=x86, it's OK for randconfig to be random.
And that the legacy trick of using ARCH=i386 or ARCH=x86_64 as a hack to
override *just* CONFOG_64BIT, although nobody has posted a patch which
removes or breaks that, probably ought to be deprecated in favour of a
more generic way to override config options - one that doesn't work only
for *one* config option, and only on *one* architecture.
