I've tested the Squeak 64-bit Linux HT version on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. I've put it through several paces and it's been quite stable for me. My apps pass their tests and seem to be running at least as well as before. Debugging is a dream. It just works. Performance still feels snappy, but I didn't do any benchmarks against 201608171728. Looks like yesterday was the old VM's two-year annniversary.
It seems good enough that I've upgraded to it everywhere.
64-bit Squeak with a mature VM is finally a reality! What an incredible engine, congratulations Eliot!
Cheers! Chris

Not that it really needs any confirmation, but I've been using 64bit pharo exclusively since late March.
Thanks everyone who's contributed!
