Nick,

No to both questions. The devil is always in the details. The problem
you run into is that such a migration is not as simple as a one-for-one
replacement of every 32-bit component with its 64-bit counterpart. You
have to keep some. The transitional nature of many packages and the
non-availability of 64-bit versions of others mean both 32-bit and
64-bit versions of some packages are often required. The dependency
combinations and permutations for 1500+ packages make such an upgrade a
Gordian knot -- with a similar solution.
