A good friend from a community shared by many on this list often signs his e-mail "WIRDI", whatever is right, do it.
I'm trying to get a handle on the /lib and /lib64 mess. At first, I was put off by SuSE's use of /lib64, but it may be "the right thing". What do y'all think? What precedent is there? (IS there precedent?) Clearly, having both /lib for 31-bit and /lib64 for 64-bit facilitates the kernels ability to run either 31-bit or 64-bit executables. Having just one /lib would make that more difficult. But mixed-mode workloads alone would not seem to justify branching the standard directory suite in such a way. Is there something more?
