I thought that's what I said. Older apps. Legacy. And generally, closed
source apps. If it were open source, it would be compiled 64bit, unless
the source is really really broken. (WTF is with nx, anyway? Supposedly
OpenOffice is at least getting close to 64bit clean...)

Developing for i386 on x86_64 is another matter, which really seems
better served by a chroot environment.
