Once we release the new version (using Qt), we will want to continue to provide a 32-bit version as well as a 64-bit version so that users using existing external libraries (32-bit) can continue to use our application. A lot of these libraries are pretty old and not likely to be recompiled for 64-bit any time soon, so that's why we really need to ship a 32-bit version of our application.

This is exactly the use case I have in mind for 32-bit Qt. The tradeoff is the occasional memory leak when we get the ref-counting wrong.
