    If breaking from 31-bit, then why stop at 32-bit? To have the same disadvantages as going 64-bit but less advantages?

    Disadvantages?

    Those "disadvantages"?

    Yes, as I have said before, even if we fork a branch to X64, I like to see the developers consider those advantages in the PPC version.
