People will still be manufacturing 32bit x86 processors in 2017 I'm quite sure. You appear entirely out of touch. There are already serious discussions going on about things like the kernel modifications needed to make 32bit systems run past 2038. Besides which what Linux supports is defined by what peope chose to contribute code for. We support 32bit 680x0 machines that have been obsolete for nigh on 20 years because someone chooses to support them. For that matter if someone comes along with DEC-10 port and it works as was clean without messing up the core I'm sure we'd add that too!
