On that issue, don't even get me started with Firefox not having a 64bit version in Linux (not built by the distros)

YAGNI is that kind of dismissive argument that it's not even funny

So then if Apple/MS/a linux distro or somebody else shuts down 32-bit binaries they'll be coming with millions of excuses for their incompetence

Firefox does have an official 64 bit release for Linux since a while:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/16.0.1/linux-x86_64/

Great! But why this doesn't appear here? http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

Will try this later, as I had to install several 32-bit libs to use the 32-bit version on Fedora 64-bit
