True. My only experience with multi-ABI systems so far has been with
MIPS64 Linux which, like x86-64, support 64- and 32-bit ABIs (actually,
two different 32-bit ABIs simultaneously, for a total of 3). We chose
to build all of userland with one of the 32-bit ABIs, and then provide
64-bit libraries for application developers who really wanted 64-bit of
addressable memory for their apps. It looks like x86-64 Linux is doing
almost the exact opposite. 64-bits is the default and 32-bit libs exist
for compatibility.

Ok, that's good to know.
