How long will 64bit Ubuntu users have to wait?

[Jerry Haltom]

I don't understand your complaint. Are you arguing that Ubuntu paid
developers don't work on what you want? Are you angry that they didn't
choose to work on this? Are you angry that nobody did it for free? Are
you angry that you can't do it yourself?

Just what are you angry about? I'll take my reply in private, too.
