Is it really so easy to introduce 32-bit support back?
- rsynnott 7y agoI mean, it depends on exactly what they did to get rid of it. For many Linux distros you add 32bit support back by "apt-get install glibc-x86" or similar. _If_ they were taking the approach of a deliberately early deprecation, which it seems like they were given the timing relative to the rest of the industry, it would only make sense to make it be an easily reversible decision.
