I don't see a problem with the updates lagging behind.  You guys do
have your own CVS tags so it should affect either side.  If we tag
something 'CURRENT', the db update scripts check only that tag - the
64bit scripts check only 'CURRENT-64'

As far as I can tell, we should be able to keep everything exactly as
is, and you guys just do your updates slower than us - that's not a
big deal to me at all.

Sounds good to me.
