Since I asked the leading question -- There really is no reason today anybody here should want/need a 64-bit kernel. Maximum physical RAM addressable by a 32-bit OS X kernel is 32 GB (the OS uses the Intel PAE architecture to overcome the 32 bit size limit without being 64 bit).
Good point, which leads back to thinking there should be really nothing preventing Avid from fixing memory limitation in the RTAS engine, already today, despite the kernel mode.

(Unless the fear is loosing some well paying TDM customers...)
