My objection is based on the feeling that x86 and x86_64 CDs will not 
become ready simultaneously. If you disagree, please ignore me and 
remove linux64 from what will become the 6.3 release.

Also, do I understand correctly that we will release 4 CDs in the 6.3 
release announcement: x86 full, x86_64 full, x86 minimal and x86_64 
minimal? How are you going to deal with the fact that there is no 
official LFS-6.3 for x86_64? Maybe it is a good idea to stop calling 
x86_64 CDs "6.3"?

Yes, that's why I added a 64-bit kernel. The "boot" method makes the 
machine unusable for normal work while building through their equivalent 
of Chapter 6. Also, the CD is mentioned in the CLFS book.
