I originally posted this on haskell-GHC-users, but was curious how the wider 
community felt.

The last 32-bit, Intel Mac was the Mac Mini, discontinued in August 2007. The 
bulk of them were discontinued in 2006, along with PowerPC Macs.  Does it make 
sense to relegate OSX x86_64 to community status while the 32-bit version is 
considered a supported platform?  

Given that I'm far from experienced enough to be able to contribute 
meaningfully to GHC, I'm not complaining about anyone's efforts, just that 
those efforts might be a bit misallocated.  I'd venture a guess that far more 
people are interested in running 64-bit GHC on OSX than in running GHC on what 
is now fairly antiquated hardware.
