Is their amd64 support just based on the pseudo-mainline pure64 sid?

Hi Johannes,
"Hoary Hedgehog" is available as a native AMD64 version. Has anyone tested this thing so far?
I tried the last version on my Opteron, and it was a very smooth install. The packages were well chosen, albeit biased towards GNOME. If you're looking for user-friendly Debian, it's a better bet that some other derivative versions, and the native amd64 support is a bonus.
On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who likes to make their own setup choices then it may not be for you. (Mainstream Debian packages are available in 'universe' but they aren't supported).
I don't think the development model is as democratic or open as mainstream Debian either. I mean, if you wanted a particular feature in Ubuntu but a certain well-known millionaire and space tourist was dead against it, do you think it would be implemented in his distribution? : )
Cheers
Daniel
