By all means. But even in a 64-bit world, much of CP (including the ACI) runs in a 31-bit execution space with the flexiblity to map any page into that 31-bit space. The parts of CP that manage the 31-bit space are, of course, 64-bit, as are those that need to access possibly more than 2GB of data are also 64-bit enabled. > What's clear is that people can follow cookbook instructions.

I have ideas on how to address it buried in a mason jar in a secret location in the back yard, but it all amounts to reducing the number of steps to a bare minimum and bringing sanity to those that remain.
