Oh, and I forgot to address this. You are right ofcourse, and probably not a lot of people would be interested in running rstan on 32-bit - sure. However pruning this off 32-bit archsn would also mean removing a huge chunk of other R packages which transitively depend on rstan. As far as I checked, not all of them are intensive to run, and it is likely useful for people who use 32-bit archs in some way. > I am okay with i386 in particular being dropped (there was recently a > discussion to even drop i386 from debian), but not all 32-bit archs that > we support.
