i386 and x86_64: back together? Posted Aug 2, 2007 19:44 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] The whole point of merging is to make it less pain for the developers.

i386 and x86_64: back together? Posted Sep 10, 2007 4:42 UTC (Mon) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link] How does this affect users at all beyond the code quality issues that the developers also care about?
