Allow auto-enabled apps to be filtered by bitness (x86 verse x64)

The ability to have the publishing tool only enable a specific "bitness" of an app would be useful. I.E. If both x86 & x64 editions of a product are available, only auto-enable the x64 version.

As an example, in our environment people have a mixture of VLC x86 and x64 installed out there. However, when auto-creating Apps we only want to auto-publish the x64 version moving forward.

I know we can exclude the x86 version from the auto-publishing rules via right-click options, but this feature request would be for brand new products that aren't already enabled at all. So, if no version of a product is installed in our environment (neither x86 or x64) and then someone installs the x86 version (presumably manually), then I'd love to be able to tell the publishing tool to auto-enable only the x64 version for any future installs (via SW center or company portal). This would not only keep auto-enabled apps cleaner but also eliminate confusion for the user when browsing available apps ("Wait, I see both x64 & x86 as available...which one should I install??")

Thanks!
