But I'm not arguing against that. I'm merely arguing that it is okay to regress 32-bit platforms (within reason) in order to make them more like 64-bit platforms. This makes them less prone to subtle portability bugs that the regression tests won't catch, so even 32-bit Postgres may well come out ahead, in a certain sense. -- Peter Geoghegan
