To not encourage people to accidentally end up writing code that's so ctfe/template-heavy that it won't compile with a 32-bit DMD? I don't mean that as a snide remark, just a practical consideration. Plus, in the same way that 64-bit DMD can help shake out 64-bit bugs, 32-bit can help shake out memory-usage problems. OTOH, It seems to be pretty typical, standard, accepted practice in the Apple world for older machines to get abandoned *very* quickly, so maybe 32-bit is already needless on Mac?
