Hi Adrian, for 32-bit support removal, yes, it is necessary: 32-bit support is draining a significant part of our "quality" (focus) time and of the help we receive from other DDs, while scientific computing on 32-bit machines is basically dead. Little-endian removal may be heavy-handed but also there is no upstream support for these architecture in the R world, and if we would want to push it from Debian I think that it would be more healthy to 1) do it actively with someone in charge and not reactively like now, and 2) focus on the R packages that matter the most first. In any case, if making a couple of exceptions will make porter life easier, I will be all for it.
