Also, dear OTP team, is there some sort of roadmap to
64-bit dets? I assume there is more of a problem in
doing this than just extending all 'disk pointers'
inside dets to twice the usual size? Can the community
help?

Nowadays, you can basically mmap() your 32-bit address
space to a corner of the available RAM ... A rapidly
shrinking corner, at that. Let's change that :-)

Best,
Thomas
