What do you mean by "or much of anything"? I run 64-bit and rarely use
VSTs, so I didn't even notice they weren't working on my current LMMS
installation. (I only assume they aren't because of what you just wrote; I
don't even have any installed to try.)

I run 32-bit Firefox because the 64-bit one's RAM usage is close to double.
LMMS hasn't presented any similar issues that I've noticed. Since I don't
use VSTs and don't know what "much of anything" means or if it was just
hyperbole because you personally consider VST support to be a core feature
of LMMS, I see no reason to slum with 32-bit versions.

But you're the maintainer (I assume).
