Removing the need for 32 bit libs in the future is big.

Don't mean to throw shade on a project that I'm sure lots of people have put a lot of time and effort into, but this has never worked for me. Of all the pre-Snowden proprietary evilware, just about the only one I haven't been able to escape from entirely is Adobe InDesign, and therefore Windows as well. Wine has always been one potential way to get around this, but despite my best efforts I've never gotten it work. For InDesign, I've had much better luck with running it in Windows in VirtualBox.
