You just want to start a flame-war, don't you?? :)

Anyway, for *servers*, in *2011*, the only two reasons I can think of to
install 32-bits are:

1) some ancient closed-source binary app won't function correctly with
the lib32 compatibility libraries. But then, it probably also requires
libc5...

2) Low-power Atom servers with 4GB or less of RAM.

Heck, even with desktops, because Adobe just released 64-bit Flash 11, I
took the time to reinstall Ubuntu Mavereick to prevent some apps from
exhausting address space.
