Do you know what Debian's support for 32bit is looking like? They are the only ones I care about. I have several 32bit laptops that I plan on keeping (one being a thinkpad!). Guess it doesn't matter too much with LTS but would hope the next 1 or 2 Debian releases support 32bit. Cheers, William

I think there is no doubt that they will release i386 Stretch, nevertheless some DDs have started to ask whether that might be the last release for 32-bit Intel. Cheers Michael.
