WTH? 13 is out?
So, there should be soon info on Slackware.com And x86_64 is going to final version, at last Wondering, if UPGRADE note is changed...
I'm still waiting for official statement about switching from x86_32 to x86_64

There won't be an official statement about switching to x86_64 because that switch is not being made. If you had followed Slackware's progress over the past months, you would have seen that there are now two supported architectures for Slackware that are jointly developed and maintained - one for 32bit and one for 64bit architecture.
You get to choose what to install. The 32bit Slackware will not be dropped.
