It's the testing that worries me most. Pretty much no developers run
32-bit any more, and I'd be most worried about the odd interactions that
might be hw-specific. Some crazy EFI mapping setup or the similar odd
case that simply requires a particular configuration or setup.
But I guess those issues will never be found until we just spring this
all on the unsuspecting public.
FWIW we shipped Joerg's 32bit KAISER kernel out to our 32bit users (on old
product where we still support it) on Apr 25th already (and some issues
have been identified since then because of that). So it (or its port to
3.0, to be more precise :p) already did receive some crowd-testing.
