The EOL of stable/14 would mark the end of support for 32-bit platforms including source releases, pre-built packages, and support for building applications from ports. Given an estimated release date of October 2023 for 14.0-RELEASE, support for 32-bit platforms would end in October 2028. Still quite a bit of a long tail, but likely time to do it, if not overdue. I think the last time I had a 32-bit laptop was a Thinkpad r60 which I was able to upgrade to a 64-bit CPU...that laptop was from 2006.
