Hi Art,

I suggest you help with

"intentionally neglected" is a bit strong. We have not enough packaging
people, not enough developers, and way too much to do. If 32-bit works
adequately for now I totally understand triaging that and moving on for
the release. The main race was to get something out with Firefox 24,
since Firefox 17 is no longer supported.
