Why is K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit not listed?

Why isn't the K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit 3.7.0 listed on the frontpage? According to the K-Lite 64-bit website:

K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit

This is a bundle of 64-bit DirectShow filters that can be used together with 64-bit players, such as Windows Media Center. This pack can co-exist without problems with the regular (32-bit) K-Lite Codec Pack.

The 64-bit versions of Windows can run 32-bit software perfectly fine. So it is recommended to use the regular K-Lite Codec Pack when possible. That one contains more, better and faster decoders. You only need 64-bit filters for use with 64-bit applications.

Works on 64-bit versions of Windows XP/2003/Vista/Seven.

Windows Media Center is a 64-bit application on 64-bit Windows.

It has been considered, we might have to consider it again (x64 OSes becoming more popular), but I myself am using K-Lite (Mega) Codec Pack x32 on Windows 7 x64 and it works just fine...

There are however very few x64 media players to use these codecs!

It will be considered again for listing.

Yap...I had both installed on my x64!

But both are different version....x64 is version 3.7.0 whereas x86 is 6.2.0.

x64 version in Program Files and x86 in Program Files(x86).

Both co-exist!

Any one know of any problem? Mine seem to be working OK.

Windows Media Center (consisting of 64-bit processes ehshell.exe and ehtray.exe) is a 64-bit application on 64-bit Windows.

I didn't say there wasn't a x64 player, i said that there is very few (which is true).

It will be listed soon.
