Is there any particular reason that you think that the above systems does
not really matter?

As we have made a similar wrong assumption about those arches before, I am
really trying to be more cautious about it.

I searched through the web, some seems to be claiming that "32-bits is DEAD",
I am not sure if there is some common agreement among the kernel community,
is there any previous discussion about that?
