Bryan, you asked for thoughts.  Don't shoot the messenger! :)

In part my objection is that the proposed messages have not just been
dumbed down and convey less information, they're actually wrong.  As you
know, CDs contain streams of bits, they don't have any inherent
"bitness".  Media doesn't require a 64-bit cpu.  You surely don't want
naive users going to a shop and saying I want a pack of 32-bit blank CDs
instead of these 64-bit ones.

Are the current messages a real problem?  In other words, instead of
some experienced users thinking they MAY be a problem, has this
repeatedly come up as a show-stopper in actual usability testing?
