No.  Two points:

1) Making a binary 64-bit "clean", but not delivering a 64-bit binary 
(still just delivering the 32-bit binary) is just a bug fix, and well 
below ARC radar.  You can do that anytime you like, subject to CTeam.

2) If you're going to deliver 64-bit binaries, you can provide a single 
case listing multiple binaries.  If you're also removing (or converting) 
a 32-bit binary, please make that explicit in the case.
