What if your 32bit system is just a NAS -- ZFS and NFS, nothing else?
I think it would still be ideal to allow tweaking of things at runtime
to make 32-bit systems more ideal.
I respectfully disagree. Even on x86, 64-bits are common, and the
price difference between 64-bit and 32-bit capable systems is small.
So apart from keeping old stuff working, I can think of little or no
justifcation to not go with 64-bit systems these days, even for a small
S10 plus ZFS NAS appliance. That way you leave behind all the pain
32-bits gives you.
Are VIA processor chips 64bit capable yet ?
