For Linux we already release a 64 bit version, together with the 32 bits. > is something (as you write) for a major version and not a minor > version like 4.1. The bitness is not that important, if I understood clearly, it's not like we are dropping 32 bit support in MacOS for 4.1. What might be something to think about is the change in the system requirements between 4.0 and 4.1; we had unintentionally changed the system requirements in Linux from previous versions released by Sun/Oracle, this turned into some people saying "you better install LO, that works on older Linux distros".
