Your terminology is a bit muddled here. If you mean "there will be no 32-bit-only systems using UEFI", that's not a safe assumption to make. There are still 32-bit-only systems being produced, and the move from BIOS to UEFI will affect them as well. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
