Then why do we not have an installable 64 bit based .iso on the downloads 
page our site points to?  Seems to me if we had one, it would be there 
just for bragging rights. The 64 bit stuff is labeled simulation only. 
Not for machine control.

I've also noted that anything for the my pi has done a vanishing act 
also, no updates for my pi driven Sheldon lathe in months now.  There 
are video driver updates I could use from raspian, but I'd have to unpin 
the kernel and let it install a non-realtime kernel to use them.  So I'm 
stuck with a very old copy of master on the Sheldon. Its running 
moderately well if after every reboot, I call up the keyboard/mouse 
configurator and slow the keyboard repeat down below 15/sec, otherwise 
it bombards the i/o with a 250+ a sec keyboard repeat, and that causes 
all sorts is missed keyup events. until thats slowed down.  Then it 
generally runs well till the next power bump.
