Obvious? Is it? From whose point of view?

And why? 
What are the problems?
Do you need hardware for porting?
Will it be possible to get a stable Debian for amd64 soon, maybe released after Sarge?
Why does it work for Gentoo/SuSE/...?
Etc.pp.

Such questions can be expected and I would like to know the best answers
when joining the booth staff.
