Obviously, if there are no skilled volunteers to maintain the current i386 kernel, there is no way to support it. But in case the user base is too large compared to the developer base, perhaps users can self-organise and gather donations to pay for the work ? I would definitely prefer to spend the price of a new hardware as ~5 years of donations instead of replacing it as long as it is performant enough for its task (I bought mine a few months ago). What do you think would be the cost to keep a good-shaped i386 kernel package in wheezy+2 ?
