Sure, but before contacting these groups, we need to know whether *we*
want this model.

This has been discussed "upstream" in the multilib/multiarch proposals
(and even as recently as at the fosdem) and the consensus is that the
current interested parties did not have the demand, yet, but if the
demand comes up they will be open to it. So it will not come as a
surprise if we ask the FHS to discuss for the next draft (which is
happening now!) to allow for bin64.
