</I>For 64-bit users it is not shipping at all.

</I>Lets deal with ARM problems when ARM is supported. For that time we 
might have 64-bit Skype.

</I>Yes, but 32-bit nonfree packages are not available to 64-bit users.

I was quite sure that Mageia would keep the usability bit that Mandriva 
had. But with our current direction Gentoo is soon easier to use for 
non-developer/sysadmin user.
