Why are we doing this? We've been producing 32-bit images for years, and
it's a solved problem, right? Surely it's as easy as "just keep doing
it," right?

Not so much. There are several reasons we're retiring them. First and
foremost, our data suggests that 32-bit images are not that popular.
That doesn't mean *no one* uses 32-bit images, but the user community
for 32-bit only seems to be passingly small.

I think that announcement sounds great. I am also quite interested in seeing those data -- I didn't think most public clouds published statistics.
