One thing that concerns me is packaging desktop virtual machine images for easy reproducibility.
We realized that some users do not (or cannot, due to security policies) turn on VT-x/AMD-V in their machines, and therefore Virtualbox and VMWare Player cannot run 64-bit guests.
So we had to make 32-bit virtual machine images for them. If popular distros stop supporting 32-bit, we will have a harder time packaging such images, since we'll have to use a different distro for them, with different package names, settings, etc.
