I don't have any AMD64... not yet; but I've been receiving and reading the ML
for a while. I've no account on alioth, and i've never expressed any opinion
on this list. But I voted. Only once. For amd64...
I didn't want to pollute the list with just a vote advice, but when I read
sentences like the following, I can't stand...
