There is an important point sitting here for support of legacy
applications. While a standalone x86 Firebird Server is likely to be of
increasingly little interest, an x86 client library may need to be
supported for much longer. This then gives rise to the question: what
about the embedded server. Does that have to be available for x86?

Current Ubuntu LTS is 64 bit , only with selected packages for 32 bit

Even FreeBSD moved i386 to Tier 2 for FreeBSD 13.x

So in the end my guess 32 bit is only for legacy apps (Think Delphi
apps without source code ... )
