I wasn't saying that by removing 32-bit packages that users can't add their own. I was just thinking that if I didn't have any 32-bit apps on the system that I was using or that the system was using... that turning off the ability to run 32-bit apps as a temporary workaround for the bug shouldn't have much of a negative impact. Does that make good sense to you?

I suppose so. But I have not seen any negative impact in the past from it and I've been mixing 32bit userlands with 64bit kernels for ages; except from the security perspective.
