"Strongly advising people in one direction we felt would mean fewer people having issues ultimately."
No, people come to ubuntuforums.org and ask what's wrong with 64-bit that it isn't recommended. If you've never visited the forums, you might want to to get some first-hand experience on the questions new users have.
"There are software compatibility issues with 64-bit that makes it less suitable for the mass market than 32 bit."
Can you be more specific about these issues? And why they didn't exist prior to 10.04?
"Based on the feedback of the Ubuntu engineering team we do not think it's wise to recommend the 64b version."
Again, can you be specific? Feedback on what, exactly?
It's very disappointing that this won't be fixed.
