Launching 64 bit first may be a stability bandaid for users who have 64 bit and adequate memory.
I would want to see decently founded comparative stats from a wide variety of systems before claiming that. bsmedberg and others have done some analysis that looks to me like our OOM crashes (which are the largest group of stability issues nowadays) are pretty split between cases where we run out of physical memory and where we run out of VM space. Now, 64bit gives us more VM space but probably also uses more physical memory, so we could run out of physical memory even faster, even though we should not run out of VM space. Also, given that every process has its own VM space, e10s will help the VM space issues anyhow, so I wonder how much impact on stability we'll have with 64bit anyhow after that.
It's also security boost for 64 bit users.
Could someone please explain why you and Google claim 64bit to be more secure? This is a new argument to me and I wonder what's behind it.
