# 32-bit vs 64-bit packages: Do 32-bit and 64-bit packages both want to use the same directories, ~/.pki/nssdb and /etc/pki/nssdb, or do we want to have 64-bit versions of those directories, such as ~/.pki64/nssdb and /etc/pki64/nssdb

# what about the case of an NFS-mounted home directory that is used from different machines on different OS platforms.  Perhaps the path should also attempt to differentiate by architecture more broadly than just 32/64 bits, e.g. linux-x86-32, linux-x86-64, linux-S360, Linux-sparc-v8plus (32), Linux-sparc-v9 (64), Solaris-sparc-v9, etc., etc.
