Do you need additional proof?
That article explicitly says they will continue to support
32 bit libraries, they just aren't shipping a 32 bit kernel.
User level 32 bit apps will continue to run. User level
apps that need some closed source driver that only works in
32 bit kernels will have a problem :-).
Thanks, I guess that would be the use case for 32 bit kernel (why the 64bit data
32bit code model isn't done, I don't know). In any case, there would not be any
such drivers if there is no 32bit kernel to build against, would there. Using a
driver built against another kernel is too risky to contemplate someone
deliberately making that a production case (I hope).
