I still have 2 32-bit i386 systems running older *ubuntu - one Pentium 4
desktop with Kubuntu (used mostly by my children) and one very old laptop
with Celeron 366MHz with Xubuntu and LXDE. I don't want to loose support
for them yet. I just miss time for testing all releases.
Additionally, I have newer, but really low-end 64-bit laptop that has power
management & other drivers problems under any native Linux distros, so I
keep 32-bit Kubuntu & Mint virtualized with Virtualbox seamless desktop on
top of Windows 10, that uses less resources than 64-bit versions.
Maybe if you really want to drop 32-bit support, could you at least still
keep those builds for LTS releases?
Regards,
Tom

The lack of testers, the lack of bug reports, and the lack of response here
seem to indicate that i386 users in our community are a rather tiny group.
One that is likely shrinking even more.
The short lifespans of non-LTS releases do not help, either. Perhaps
dropping support now may be the best time to pull the plug.On Jun 29, 2017

Hello folks, Art Alpha 1 is released today: release notes:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/Alpha1/Kubuntu
Please report test results here:

If we don't get complete test coverage on the i386 test cases, I think
we should drop it now. the KCI doesn't build the images, we get no
questions about 32-bit any more, and it is in general a pain to
support.
Is there any reason to keep it?
