While I don't follow freebsd-chat with any regularity, My point was that the
wiki didn't reverence any conversations newer than 8 months old still
stands.  That conversation is not referenced by the wiki.  It may be an
example of someone bringing up the question without doing research, but that
is not the case here, either.

On that, you and I differ.  Aside from nvidia requesting them, the 5 points
all seem very relevant to 64-bit systems in general.
