Dropping 32-bit host support would certainly kill a lot of #ifdefs and
reduce the amount of testing needed.  It would also force me to upgrade
my home machine.

Ok, but if you radically change the kernel<->user API, doesn't that mean
you have to upgrade in the same way?

No, why? I'd just upgrade the userspace.  Am I misunderstanding you?

The 32 bit emulation mode in x86_64
is actually pretty complete, so it probably boils down to a kernel upgrade
for you, without having to touch any of the user space.

For me personally, I don't mind.  I don't know about others.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
