Hi everybody!
Following the official definition of the architecture name as "x86-64", there 
has been a lot of talk about the ethics of one name over another, 
practicality, and so on. What I want to know, is this: What does this mean 
for the users? I am currently setting up a future high-availability 
bridge/packet filter, and I could really do without dpkg-breakage due to 
partial name changes. Should I just not update in the next fortnight, or need 
I have no fear? If a bit of both, which packages might be particularly 
affected?

Thanks!
Andreas Steffen
