I had been meaning to comment on this, and read it again in a reply by 
Scott. I see one big problem with this. That is most developers who have 
posted to the 64bit section of the forums have problems with the 64bit 
version. Exactly how many Ubuntu developers actually use the 64bit version. 
Not just have it installed, but use it? Please Ubuntu developers, if you 
actually use the 64bit version post that you do. If we dont have any actual 
users, why dont we?
If we don't have users that are developers. Exactly how do we solve the 
catch 22 problem of the 64bit version not being good enough to use for some 
users, and we need users to make the 64bit version better?
