not yet, as I think there should be a PSC descision/discussion before
such a
far-reaching action. :-)
thanks for raising this issue. I agree that we should drop 32bit at
certain point. The question is when. I would personally do this step
together with QGIS community. Are you aware of any QGIS plans?
I'm not aware of any QGIS plan yet. I'll ask on the QGIS dev-ML in the
next
days.

"Microsoft to drop support for Windows 10 on 32-bit systems":
Microsoft has stated that future versions of Windows 10, starting with the
May 2020 Update, will no longer be available as 32-bit builds on new OEM
computers.
all in all a good moment to phase out winGRASS 32bit versions.
see https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2021-February/082242.html

In OSGeo4W there has lately been a big effort to reboot it, meaning that it
has
been completely rebuilt using newer source versions of mostly every package
using a newer compiler.
[...]
As the new OSGeo4W only supports
64bit
[...]
so it's time now (without a phasing out :-) ) to say good bye and retire
winGRASS 32bit too.
an announcement to the community needed?
Do I understand correctly that 32bit is already gone in the current
osgeo4w release ? Then yes, I think an announcement would be
appropriate. Otherwise, we could possibly combine it with the
announcement of a grass 8 release.
