Thanks! > Although I have to admit, I fail to see the need for Windows x86 builds, too. > Who in their right mind would want them today? I can't see installing a 32-bit Windows postmaster in 2018. The 32-bit libpq might be useful. Download statistics for the binary distributions would be informative. On the other hand, removing 32-bit Windows support would eliminate three veteran buildfarm animals, and maintenance was cheap in the few years before this thread. I don't think today is the day to remove support, but it's coming one of these years.
