There is not only issues of legacy hardware but virtual machines. I signed up for the RHEL 6 beta. Downloaded my copy and fired it up in virtualbox, only to find that it failed to boot, because virtualbox did not support PAE. I am not sure if other virtualization solutions would also have issues with this. However, virtualbox is likely more popular in a desktop environment where you are more likely to have an i386 host. > You must also be a politician or news anchor on the side too.

That may have been somewhat out of context, but from my experience on #debian IRC, many uses do still run on hardware. I saw two different people this week wanting to install debian via floppy for example.
