But a combo x86-32/x86-64 install media OTOH would be very interesting
for magazines that want to ship Fedora on a enclosed DVD, as that's
cheaper than two and makes way more readers happy than a x86-32 only
DVD. Ohh, and a combo install media might be interesting as hand out for
fairs and conferences, too.

Just my 2¢.
