> Just to add: what we would really like is for someone to step forward as
the Maintainer of the X86_64 MacOS port of GHC. Then we really could make
it a Tier-1 platform (see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Platforms). In principle its not
hard:
> * MacOS is already in one Tier-1 platform (32 bit)
> * x86_64 is already in another Tier-1 platform (Linux)
> All we need to do is to put the two together -- and some folk are
already working on that (#3472).

to sign up to being the maintainers.

The way I see it, as soon as GHC works as a 64 bit app on OS X, this will
very soon be the main version for OS X and it's the maintenance of the 32
bit version that you need to worry about. I am currently listed (with
Wolfgang Taller) as x86 platform maintainer. As soon as there is a 64 bit
version of GHC on OS X, I will surely use that (as will most GHC users on
Macs).
