I'm probably an edge case but I'm not totally focussed on x86-64  
support right now but am rather more interested in Obj-C 2.0 support  
than Intel support.  I'll also be supporting/working with PPC  
machines (32- and 64-bit) for at least a couple more years.  Apple's  
customer base is still largely running PPC and will be for a while.

I'll fight the good fight with ADC and make a case for getting you  
the requested access.  You've probably got better connections with  
these folks than I do, but another voice can't hurt.

Thanks,
