   Sparc64 and mips64 are a problem as long as the kernel is 64 bit and
   userspace is 32 bit.

Read this as: forever.  Because we have several years worth of users
with 32-bit userland distributions on at least sparc64.

These people (including me, I have to test it :-) are not going away
any time soon.
