a difficult transition for some users.

*technically* possible, but likely not without breaking 32-bit software not
installed by RPM.


All of my 32-bit software is installed in $HOME/.local/share/Steam, I take it that under this proposal it would immediately stop working upon upgrading Fedora and never work again?
