Dear release team Having participated in the current discussion about 32 bit releases and lifetimes in Linux Weekly News (lwn.net) - what's the status of i386 for the lifetime of Bullseye?
There seems to be only one maintainer. Is i386 going to be supportable for the next 3 1/2 years and buildable for that long (given that almost all machines are now 64 bit capable and we're having to build some packages on amd64 for i386 - per ballombe)? Also asking because this came up over the weekend when working with the Debian Images team - no one has real UEFI hardware for i386 and it's becoming harder and hader to justify spending too much time on testing of the images as fewer and fewer machines can benefit from them. What are your thoughts, collectively? [I did ask one of you as an individual but he suggested respectfully and correctly that I should ask you all - thanks to him for the polite response]. All the very best to you all and with thanks, as ever, for all your work Andy C.
