Something that came up in discussion while we were at FOSDEM was
whether it's safe to ship 64-bit only applications in OpenIndiana.

Which begs the obvious question - is anyone running OpenIndiana on
hardware that isn't 64-bit? Please reply if so.

I have Asus eeepc that is 32-bit only, that I installed Linux onto on notice that 32bit is not supported for illumos for the future. I think it is interesting idea to keep 32-bit supported for subset, server packages and not all,
but I accepted that 64bit is desired and supported main platform.

Only thing that could not be abandoned is ability to auto-select both binaries and kernel on install and to have ability to support more then one architecture bitness, and that fits right into supported application subset idea.
