You might want both 32 and 64 bit repos right now; if you need Acrobat
Reader, that's still 32 bit only (and not in their 64 bit repo).

And yes, before somebody says "use <foo> instead", there are still
things that acroread does (that are required) that AFAIK the Open Source
PDF readers don't do (such as fill out tax forms with scripted
calculations).
