64-bit is the future
64-bit is the future anyway so no problem with releasing a 64-bit only OS. It might seem painful but it's good given that it's just going to pave a way for people to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit as if the report is correct, no major feature will be added. That means people not ready for 64-bit only will do with Leopard and gradually as 64-bit support broadens, they then switch.
