Thanks for the info!  Bummer!  I don't ever see myself going back to
32-bit environments unless I will start working on embedded systems

There is, of course, no particular need to use the 64-bit kernel if all you 
want to do is run 64-bit userspace software. My old MacBook Pro doesn't support 
the 64-bit kernel, but it runs 64-bit apps just fine.

Does that mean that individual apps will be able to access the full
8GiB of RAM that I have installed and that the OS itself can make good
use of it, too?

yes and yes
