Fedora at least plans to not support installing hfp and sfp on the same system, while not completely decided I don't think we will be supporting running 32 bit arm binaries on 64 bit arm. there is not a legacy support use case that I can think of i.e. existing common proprietary software. Though I imagine that we will use /lib64 for consistency with existing 64 bit arches. Dennis
