I'd go with 64-bit mostly because it's my impression more people |
| 15 |
(both devs and users) are using it now than 32-bit, so ebuilds/packages |
| 16 |
get more testing under 64-bit. |

But you don't say why you believe 64-bit shouldn't be seriously |
| 19 |
considered for a machine with <4 GiB RAM. |
