Thanks, I read it at the time but I did not understand the meaning:

do you really expect that we progressively edit thousands of
debian/control files and file thousands of FTP removal bugs?

To be frank, the result of your current policy is that, defensively, I
take the opportunity of dropping 32-bit support as a whole instead of
i386 specifically because a) it is easier (just build depend on
architecture-is-64-bit), and b) the prospect of re-doing for other
32-bit arches what we do for i386 is really making feel like running
away from Debian.

I am not complaining about effort to keep useful i386 packages in
Debian, but about the lack of tools to remove the other i386 packages
in a smarter ways.  Can we not just have a way to send a signed email
to a bot somewhere with a list of packages, and voilà, they are
removed seamlessly and we can focus on other tasks?

Have a nice day
