Perhaps if we (as x86_64 machine users) were able to offer our abilites 
(compiling that is) to various repos to create a kind of joint 
partnership then they would be willing to open up a x86_64 repo. For 
example I know that fedora.us has a bugzilla type of framework for 
package submission, perhaps we should be rebuilding packages as x86_64 
and then submitting them?
