This isn't really my decision, but I think we should not bother 
distributing 64bit mozilla or firefox unless all of the popular plugin 
providers also distribute 64bit gcc 3.3.x plugins.  The browser is not 
very useful without the plugins for end users.

Nothing stops 3rd party repositories from doing so though...
