Author No EBF for ASA 9.0.2 on Windows x64?

Looking at the EBF download page for SQL Anywhere Studio I can't find any
EBF:s for the Windows x64 platform.
Doesn't Sybase release EBF:s for this platform or am I missing something?
Some of our customers are intereseted in switching from 32bit to 64bit
Windows, but since we're currently using an EBF for the 32bit version of ASA
9.0.2 we can't recommend switching to 64bit if we can't install the same
fixes in that environment.

I "think" it works this way: Win x64 is a low volume platform so we
don't always release the EBF for it at the same time as others or we may
wait until someone asks for it due to the effort required to release
tested EBFs. I think you'll need to call tech support and ask for the EBF.

I encourage you to make the call because more demand for x64 will help
to make the platform a success & I _really_ like the platform. As a
developer, I'd love to see the old 32-bit stuff go away. :)
