It's not so much the number of available cluster nodes, although this
also is an issue, but we are limited in upload capacity towards the
mirrors which we need to reserve for the release isos etc.  The other
issue is that we do have i386 9.0 prebuilt packages, which showed a few
regressions compared to 8.0 so I haven't uploaded these either yet.  See
my blogpost about this for more.
