Okay, what is the alternative? Especially if you don't want end up with Debian-based distributions?

This is my first post to this mailing list :)
How do you mean alternative? there is no need for alternatives because the decision was only made because we all agreed pretty much everyone is using 64bit now anyway.
For atom-based mobile devices you could use android or something.
IIRC, Atom has the 220 and 330 models which are x86-64 compatible. So there's not much of an issue with Atom. As Dieter has said, you can think Android or some other distro for x86. For x86 based models, I guess we'll have to switch for the time being to another distro, which IMHO isn't too much of an issue. Sooner or later we'll have to switch over to x86-64 based systems since x86 is used on old hardware: hard to get replacements, doesn't scale, less performance, ... I also think that getting all our efforts onto x86-64 will get us a better distro since we won't have to double efforts on development and bug resolution. Obviously, this is all MHO.
