The upgrade requires a reinstall and I'm not sure my 2 GB RAM are worth it. Besides, I'm still using skype from time to time, which is a pain to install on amd64. All of this will be (has been?) made much simpler by multiarch, but I'd rather not experiment with that shortly before the release. I also used to have another i386 machine. Sharing packages between installs was an additional benefit, but it was replaced by a Raspberry Pi recently.
