I don't find this impertinent at all. In fact this is really a good
question.
Given that I do not use low level construct like rep clauses in my
sources, I expect that all the Ada source on my Web page will
compile and works fine under any 64 bits compiler.

This issue is on the hand of the Ada implementors if they want to
validate their Ada compiler under the 64 bits computer.
