Apparently NewOS is slated to function on the indy machines in the
not-so-distant future. (imagine that -- the "poor man's sgi" running on
real sgi). Also, with 64-bit Intel chips (well those are floundering) and
64-bit AMD x86 chips on the horizon, keeping higher-word-size capability
available might not be such a bad idea, especially since Sledgehammer is
supposed to eventually become "everyman's 64bit". The G5 may also be
64bit.
