Well I for one think it couldn't hurt.  FYI I already placed some preliminary 64 bit info on the Wiki, but none of it is Linux based (yet).  IMO, it would make a great start for a 64-bit D ABI as well as a place for compiler developers to start.

I am considering moving the CGI's to a 32 bits server or 32 bits jail.
They just interface via NNTP with the actual news server which I rather keep on the new server for performance reasons.

But as for me and my household, we shall use Mozilla...

I've updated the links to point to pnews, which would be ok if it could be gotten to work with the digitalmars.D group.
