Right. We should note also that there is no requirement that the Multi
Desktop include the desktops that it currently includes. Right now it
includes 5 desktops and while I hope it can continue to include all 5
there is no requirement for it to. And it really would not be the end
of the world for the Multi Desktop to not be dual architecture in the
future, this is convenient but at some point 32 bit will be dropped
anyway and it could just be split into arch specific DVDs if
necessary.
