Which we greatly appreciate! :) To add to what Matt said, I would say that the development side of the community has been generally quite supportive of i686 still be a part of Fedora - *IF* there are enough people interested in doing the work of supporting it. As I mentioned earlier, Fedora is a huge project with a lot more work to do than people to do it, so we have to prioritize. The ARM and PPC64 SIGs are very active, and thus Fedora has support for ARM and PPC64. Are you an i686 user? Do you want to continue to have the latest, shiniest Fedora on your hardware? Then please come join us. The rest of the community will give us the space and the positive vibes to continue that support. We just need to help support the parts of Fedora that are important to us. jeff -- Jeff Backus jeff.backus@xxxxxxxxx http://github.com/jsbackus _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
