ARM stack alignment on exception entry

Hello everybody,
The Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the ARM architecture requires that the stack must be eight-byte aligned on exception entry. The default stack alignment for Cortex-M3 is 4 byte and not 8 byte, why this ambiguity?
Why is it required anyway to configure the 8 byte stack alignment if it also works with 4 byte? Is there any reason?
