I disagree that this granularity is the purpose of a log analyser  
because I don't think it would be helpful and as has been noted it  
wouldn't be accurate. We haven't tracked all the processor extensions  
such as MMX, SSE and Altivec although they have probably had more  
relevance for client software than the current shift to x86 64-bit  
which is driven by the need to maintain 32-bit compatability rather  
than really exploit a 64-bit architecture which would require  
considerably more than a recompile.

Furthermore, your previous assertion that web designers are somehow  
dependent upon Flash is inaccurate. I love Flash but the vast  
majority of websites make no use of it. Furthermore, Flash is a  
closed box so whether users have 64-bit or 32-bit clients is of much  
less relevance than which version of Flash they support.
