To their point, all of this is not trivial. You could just compile as x86 and be done with in in 5 minutes, assuming the performance hit is acceptable.

It’s not trivial, but it’s also not a long-term maintenance cost if upstream accepts the patch.

When they said "maintain", I read it as short term, doing this if and when for all libraries down the dependency chain. Or, compile as x86, and wait until external resources push for the support.
