Really? I would assume that 32-bit is still a significantly-large audience that we could *add* 64-bit, but that we likely would need to keep 32-bit (for a while). Have developers really cut-over to 64-bit *deployment*? (We only deploy 32-bit to enable a single set of binary-installers for many target platforms, including embedded, even though yes, some of those target platforms happen to be 64-bit.) If msvc 2010 32-bit is dropped as "reference/tier-1", then we would probably need to update our deployment to have two sets of installers (32-bit because of embedded needs, but also 64-bit because that would be the new "reference/tier-1"). This is only an observation (not a criticism) -- we'd like to take our embedded to 64-bit eventually, but I'm unsure of when the "generic-user-base" will no longer have a plethora of 32-bit-Windows user operating systems. So, question: How many developers target 64-bit Windows exclusively (not 32-bit-Windows)?
