You know, I get it. I understand the symbiotic relationship between the Fedora Project and Red Hat, and how the former serves as a de facto test bed for development that, sooner or later, ends up in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Scientific Linux and CentOS (and even Oracle Linux). I even get that Red Hat may no longer have a need for 32-bit development. I also get that while 32-bit hardware use in developed countries is on the decline, I’d like to see statistics on 32-bit hardware use in developing countries before I’m ready to say that 32-bit is irrelevant.
In a post that came out shortly before this FOSS Force commentary was posted, Stephen Smoogen blogged that, "[m]y original intention was to make an absurd point by proposing to drop 32 bit architectures from being primary in Fedora. I didn't communicate clearly that this was meant to be absurd."
So I take this to mean no proposal is forthcoming. However, I stand by the positions taken in the original commentary in response to Stephen's original "proposal."
Being a secondary arch does not mean not done at all.
