What are the concrete reasons, you think, for thinking that 2008
(and not earlier or later) is going to be the deadline? From the
article, it seems to be mostly hand waving and pretending that the past
is a perfect prologue, which is an argument I find difficulty lending
any credibility to.
Given that the so called "deadline" is, at best, an educated
guess, and you might have an argument on the educated part, I don't
think this so called deadline deserves to impact the release schedule
directly.
The other part is, really, are we not supporting 64 bit
architectures? I might be out of the loop, but it does appear to me
that we have support for 64 bit stuff; so we have already met the
deadline as far as OS vendor responsibilities are concerned? What is it
that I am missing?
