Considering that for Trixie we won't have an i386 installer, particularly: it seems evident to me that as more software depends on Rust, less of it will be usable on i386 (and possibly something like armhf in due course.) This whether or not we rebase the hardware requirements for an architecture. I think that it is inevitable that i386 won't get the same amount of software as amd64: Rust might be the deal breaker. (In the same way that some large/complex apps don't get built for all architectures / memory sizes. - Not everything can happily build/run Firefox, for example). Just a thought Andy Cater (amaca...@debian.org)
