Yes, it's because I only have toyed with x86-64, never tried a production system on it. All our servers are 32-bit. It's a matter of a different kind - if devepers will say that 64 bit is better for them, I'll do it. I don't really mind, I'll have to use linux on x86-64 in the future anyway.

Sure, it's just that main developer always said that he won't even dare to try 10g before rel 2 since we need complete reliability for a billing system, and now that it is out, he says that he needs a month or so to investigate new features ;)
