I really do wonder what all the fuss is about.

I run a 64 bit systems and have managed to accumulate some 32 bit libs along 
the way.  OK, maybe it takes up just over 1GB of disk space but on a 750GB 
drive that is way less than 1%.

It isn't as if this is MS windows with dll's getting loaded into memory willy 
nilly.

Yes it may be just me....but micro managing this, to me, is more trouble than 
it is worth.
