> The current package list of the retail version

I asked this question earlier but it was probably lost in a bunch of other
stuff I said at the same time and I never got anyone's opinion, official
or otherwise, so here it is again..

I resolved to myself that I'd send some money back Mdk's way, this upgrade
cycle, since if I'm going to spend all that $$ I just spent to upgrade
hardware, and I believe in Mdk's software, as I do, and didn't want it to
disappear, also the case, I needed to put some $$ where my typing fingers
and mouth are!  Thus, the question..

What's the best way to indicate that I'm supporting the distrib as
developed for amd64 with this money?  Had I stuck with the 586 packages,
I'd have just joined club with it, and whatever appropriate level.  Should
I still do that and vote somehow for continued amd64 development once
there, or should I put the $$ into a direct purchase of an amd64 package? 
I want to be sure I'm sending the most effective message about support for
both Mdk and amd64  that I can, and I'm not sure how how best to send that
message.  

(I prefer NOT to use proprietary packages, and there's little
else in the club specifically to interest me, AND since I'm installed off
of d/l and wouldn't be running the static media pressed version for long
anyway, and I'm not interested in proprietary either, there's no real
reason to purchase the physical media product, so it is indeed purely a
question of how best to support Mdk specifically on amd64.)

Any thoughts, official or unofficial, from GB or anyone else?  I just want
to make sure I do this and don't forget or let myself find some excuse, as
it's important to me that I support what I believe in, even if that
support isn't as much as I'd like it to be. monetarily at least.
