So, I would just echo what you said: we hardly will see the need in 128 bit CPUs soon. (BTW, I'm glad to hear the choice which is power of 2. As, in general, the length of CPU word can be anything: 17, 89, ... I'm not mentioning 1 which is used in calculators, as 1 _is_ power of 2 ;-)

Never experienced 17 or 89 bit machines. In the past I worked on 8 bit, 16 bit and a very large and expensive 36-bit machine (so expensive was it that the manufacturer offered bribes - my then boss's boss got caught and was allowed to resign with an unblemished record.)

Can not image cheap electronic calculators working with 1 bit CPUs.

Time to create a Centos OT mailing list ?
