Comment (by kencu):

 Of the MacPorts users who still run SnowLeopard, the ports tracker
 (imperfect as it is) shows the overwhelming majority use the 64bit
 version. I suspect virtually all of them use it to run some working-very-
 well legacy PPC software they don't want to give up like I do, not because
 of a machine hardware constraint. The rest are probably us, with our VMs,
 fixing things :).

 The oldest Intel Mac I had that did not support 64 bit was a macmini 1,1,
 and I swapped the processor to a much faster 64bit core2 duo in 10
 minutes, for $12, while upgrading the hard drive.

 SnowLeopard support will go from MP soon enough I suspect, but insisting
 on 32-bit SL as the focus helps ensure that day will come sooner than it
 otherwise might.

 I won't spend any specific cycles on 32-bit-only SnowLeopard any longer,
 but it might pick up fixes from universal support.
