Another data point - AFAICT most of the key upstream toolchain maintainers now run 64-bit as their primary development/testing platform. 32-bit is still looked after, but IMHO it definitely doesn't receive the same level of TLC that it used to. I have less idea about the core kernel devs, but I suspect it's a similar case there too.
