This is going to continue to be a problem. Its breadth will increase as more and more people attempt to install Ubuntu on any Atom-based device.

The Intel Atom platform by design uses a 32-bit UEFI environment. These devices ship with 32-bit Windows 8.1 installed, because 64-bit Windows uses significantly more disk space and most Atom devices have limited storage capacity (32GB or 64GB; sometimes as little as 16GB).

Can anyone from the dev team comment on this?
