It is unfortunate that site writes sensational headlines on a random
few words.
There's not been any formal proposal, or even discussion on the devel
list. Phoronix seems to be picking up any scrap of news. I guess it's
flattering that Fedora is worth the scrutiny.
To further back up Kevin a 32-bit environment must stay around, if not
for Linux apps, but for Windows apps. In order to run a
super-majority of Windows software with wine, we will need to keep
32-bit around and I will be at the front of any opposition to removing
32-bit from Fedora.
However, I will not stop the installer or kernel for 32-bit from being
dropped.
I suspect there remain parts of the planet where 32-bit machines and
modest communication channels are all that is available. Command line
software implementing dial-up sessions still need support if they're all
that's available for some area's connectivity. Emergency field day
connectivity should not be forgotten in the glare of high-resolution
entertainment and various mega-cash flows. Maintaining effective
operation of minimal systems remains an important foundation for
successful larger-scale systems.
