Actually, it works just like it is supposed to work. That may not be the
same as in the past, but it's the way it should be. Granted the surprise
is something the users will have to adjust to, but that doesn't mean
things shouldn't work properly.
On a 64-bit machine, one should expect to get 64-bit binaries by
default. Users have always complained about that. Now that sparc64 is
moving into a working state, that reality will happen and become the
norm.
