I think that I explicitly mentioned *x86_64* kernel with i686 userland and described why it could be beneficial for some users with limited memory. And a child with no vaccines isn't that much of a danger to the community. Until someone opens a window, or forgets to wash a glass, and the *other* unvaccinated children form a wonderful way to spread an infection. > As for security, I don't think that running your own computer in a tightly controlled environment should be *that* dangerous. At least many users did it for years without problems. That looks like a scare. In either case it's the user who should decide what's best for him. I don't think that educated grown-up people should be treated like babies. There is "deciding what's best for him". There is also "supporting them inem in an unmaintainable and unsecurable environment, at the expense of disk space and mirror space and build time and bugzilla resources for a dangerously obsolete architecture. > Other distributions might drop it or not, we'll see. At least Debian is not dropping it yet. But this is a moot point now. After all those discussions I see that nobody really cares about user interests here. At least in Debian's case they stated that their users interests is of utmost priority to them in contrast to just useless technical innovation. And I'm not a proponent of consumerism. So take it lightly. The heck? If you know of others who need or want i686 architecture for reasons other than theoretical completeness, please encourage them to speak up. And offer to do some of the work. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
