Right :). My point is that without i386 in 4.0 you'll have to use older versions of Dragonfly or have less memory available in x86_64 mode. I'm not complaining i386 was dropped. Quite the opposite as dropping i386 might be an elegant way to solve the time_t limitation other systems incorporate non trivial solutions for because they keep i386 around.
