The size penalty is one I hadn't formally considered, but I would want to size it before committing to it. I personally think the cost comes under the 'price of compatibility with existing store binaries', so if that goal enabled the 32bit libs to be shrunk in size, then so be it. As I see things, the current proposal (to keep Ubuntu 32bit) defers any such decision, and we know that long term bets on the cost/capacity of storage tend to pay off in the direction of using more :-) J
