no need to write an alarmist title. Anyone that is part of the project can put forward a proposal like this. As of now, a large majority is strongly opposed. The likelyhood of this happening is extremely low, and even if it does, it is way more probable that they will maintain some 32bit libraries (such as steam).

shouldn't it be enough to run 32bit software via flatpak? At least it has 32bit compat runntimes. I personally hide away old software in a sandbox. Also if I am not mistaken running a 32bit (and X11 free) distribution in 2025 works just fine. At least it seems to work for me (afaik Aeon is free of 32bit). But maybe I do have the "wrong" use case? Someone care to explain why keeping 32bit libraries in the host is necessary while flatpak exists?

I know a lot of people aren't going to like this decision but I am sure it takes a lot of resources to support so many different platforms/architectures.
