Hed: Retiring 32-bit Cloud Images
Body: The Fedora Cloud Working Group has decided to retire the 32-bit
Cloud images. As of the __ release, we will no longer produce the 32-bit
images. We will, of course, continue to make 64-bit cloud images available.
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.
The second reason is that 32-bit packages and images require their own
testing. If it was as simple as a little bit of CPU time and disk space
to produce images, we'd just keep doing it until the number of users hit
zero. But it has a human cost in terms of time and opportunity lost
doing one thing when we could do another. So we've chosen to focus on
64-bit images, working on making Atomic Host more awesome, and other work.
If you have questions, feel free to ask in #fedora-cloud on Freenode, or
ask on cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Thoughts?
