Indeed - as I said: the worse thing to happen is a 64 -> 32 bit downgrade because some of the micro teams forgot to create a 64 library - which had previously be available. This leads to nasty situation where Library X is available as 1.5(32) and 1.4(64) and Application Y needs libX-1.5.so. Of course SuSE supplies 32bit for all the tools without true 64 bit support. And I am not speaking of closed source tools like i.E. acrobat reader here - open source project like Open-Object-Rexx have trouble as well to provide 64 bit versions.
