I agree with kimus
@Fabián Rodríguez
Ubuntu is a major desktop distribution aiming for mainstream consumption. just as whether flash on the Iphone matters to the users, I believe that flash support can be relevant in this discussion especially because there is no official support from the flash developers for 64bit.
Moreover to me, lack of flash support conveys the following messages:
1. developers might require separate development efforts to support 64bit
2. the developers might not see the need/lack the resources required to support said separate development efforts
1+2 says that there might be other non-trivial applications that lack 64bit support
In conclusion, I support the current state of recommending 32bit over 64bit, however I do agree that the "not recommended" wording. It should really convey the the consequences of (which are not necessarily all detrimental) a 64bit OS.
