I know that standards are their own thing, but I personally REALLY dislike lib64 directories. I have what is fundamentally x86_64 only system (there is a x86 subsystem under /opt/linux32 ) and occationally something installs something in some lib64 dir. The reason I don't want it is that not using it makes the operating system architecture-agnostic, which is the way I believe a Unix system should behave. I know that /lib64 was invented for multilib systems, but using it on monolib systems is just plain wrong, in my humble opinion. -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising.
