It's very common to run 32-bit on 64-bit systems, especially when doing Java or Scala development, as the smaller register size tends to be more responsive with IDEs. I have conference engagements this week and next that take up lots of my time, but I'll get started on my tooling, credentials, etc. so I can dig back in.
Hey team, my other obligations have me stalled on this for the foreseeable future, so I won't be tackling the multiarch installation. I wanted to go ahead and announce so that anyone with the time and inclination could tackle it without worrying about coordination with me.
Thanks,
