Review Comment:
   Yes, I imagine a database vendor would distribute an installer for the more 
common architecture and an unwary user would be running the other one (the most 
likely culprit is probably arm Python or R on Windows...it used to be people 
running amd64 conda or R on MacOS, and before that 32/64 bit Windows, at least 
with ODBC drivers in R). 
   
   Plenty of workarounds...in MacOS you can distribute a universal binary I 
think (not sure if you can do this for Windows). I do think it's reasonably 
likely this will come up, though (if this system for distributing drivers 
becomes popular).
