Are there any chances in using a 64 bit kernel for both 32 and 64 bit editions of the upcoming openSUSE?? If not then what difficulties are stopping to not to do so? I was thinking it would be beneficial to maintain only one kernel but i don't know how much hacking would have to be performed to run native 32 bit applications on such kernel?

Link fot that feature in Fedora: http://www.h-online.com/open/Fedora-project-plans-to-use-64-bit-and-PAE-kern... It basically boils down to using a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit OS. I understand there would be people having an incompatible CPUs but its a minority tight isn't it? If my memory serves me right every CPU from Intel manufactured after Pentium 3 is 64 bit capable. And since 64 bit kernel incorporates seamless 32 bit support then why not use this one since PAE if i'm not wrong is a problem for developers since it's some sort of a dirty hack :)??
