If only the 32-bit version was smart enough to install a 64-bit kernel
when appropriate, this would not be such a disaster. Running a 32-bit
kernel with 4GB of memory is asking for trouble, and machines with 4GB
are probably as common as netbooks.

32-bit or 64-bit userland doesn't make such a difference.
