Actually, I am installing a 32bit F18 on my laptop today. Though to be
honest, I haven't run 32bit outsideo of a guest since before FC1 GA. I have
noticed a large number of kernel bugs that seem to trigger on 32bit only. I
am guessing this is partly due to PAE being used much more than it used to
be, combined with the fact that very few kernel developers actually run
32bit hardware.  That said, I plan to investigate kernel issues with it,
and will not be doing full QA checks accross software I do not use in day
to day desktop use.
