Frankly, simply dropping 32-bit support would be one of the more stu--er,
ill-considered--moves Redhat could make.

Yes, Fedora is the test-bed, as you will, for RHEL.  And perhaps it makes
sense for RHEL, itself, to move to 64-bit only platforms.  (Or not; how many
smaller organizations are going to keep existing 32-bit installations
running until they *have* to replace their current servers?)

But if they expect Fedora to remain viable, pushing it to 64-bit is a more
than questionable move.  There's an entire ecosystem built around Fedora
and spinoffs.

It may seriously be time for Redhat to consider splitting Fedora into two
distros--one tracking RHEL and continuing the role as testbed for RHEL, and
the other taking up the role as an enthusiast's distro, and continuing to
support the alternatives such as Pidora.

Posting in hopes RH monitors the list and considers serious comments,
