> anyone complaining the change is too soon or too sudden Notably, that's not my complaint or my point. This isn't about the timing (which is why the distinction was important). No matter how much time someone has to prepare for a change, there's a cost to making it. And if the benefits of the change don't outweigh those costs for the developer (and the user), then a complaint sure makes sense from those perspectives. This does intersect the issue of timing, because in a resource-constrained situation, you inevitably have to defer some efforts until they're absolutely necessary (and simply rule out doing others). But timing is not the fundamental issue, cost-benefit tradeoffs are. > [development] should include a transition to 64-bit. Why? What's the benefit to ending 32 bit application support?
