[RFC] Sunsetting i386?
We still have 32bit Intel Haskell built in Fedora - primarily because of Pandoc, but also cos it mostly seems to work - I doubt any of our users are actually using it though since we don’t ship it! There are certainly a few problems from time to time but overall in glibc land it still seems to work okay or build at least: a few packages are excluded (eg Agda).
(Not sure if/when we might drop ix86 in Fedora completely (it’s the only 32bit arch we still build userspace for), but not any time soon I guess since it is used for multiarch (people have tried to propose it - gaming is the main blocker;-), though building for it is optional now, but most packages still do. I think Debian still builds for i386 too. Hth a little for distro perspective.)
