I disagree strongly. This is a press release. The announcement for Slashdot
can use amd64 and m68k but this should be meaningful to a technology
sub-editor on a general publication as well as to a more specialist
publication. I suggest something more like:
This is the first debian release to support the latest 64-bit processors from
Intel and AMD as well as 10 other computer architectures. As previously
announced, support for the Motorola 680x0 architecture has been discontinued
with this release.
I have one more comment on the release...

How about...
As well as the amd64 architecture support, new features of this release will
include:
+ Secure APT adds extra security by easily supporting strong
cryptography and digital signatures to validate downloaded packages.
+ The GNU Compiler Collection 4.1 as default compiler.
+ X.Org replaces XFree86 as implementation of the X Window System X11.
+ Full LSB 3.1 compatibility.
