Except Dell will undoubtedly have them in desktops within 2 years, and tons of people (myself included) still use 32-bit (K)Ubuntu on our systems, simply for the better binary compatibility that it is perceived to give with things like browser plugins and stuff. Using sysfs interfaces might be a good alternative, if they were easier to use, but drives are not directly accessible there using the dev_t value from stat(2). Instead, software has to search everything inside /sys/block/ looking for a "dev" file whose contents match, rather than just trying to access something like this: /sys/block/8:1/start or /sys/block/majors/8/minors/1/start Or any one of a number of similar ways to arrange it.
