This matter has been decided years ago by other people. /lib64 is in the ELF psABI, see http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/elf/x86_64-SysV-psABI.pdf, and upstream packages (e.g. KDE) are using it already. There are no other options to putting the library files in /lib64. The question that needs to be discussed here is how to get them there in all the broken packages.
