so what testing is needed? is it just "run it and report bugs" (i.e., "it works
for me")
or is there some objective way to perform tests and quantify the result?

It's not a measure of users, we can't reason something if we don't get
enough testers to confirm the quality of the software.

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.
My mother uses i386. But she doesn't read this list. And I doubt she
would be able to help testing or write bug reports. She is 76 years old.
I don't thing lack of testers or bug reports is a good measure for lack
of users. There must be a better way, like counting downloads of a
specific package (i386 vs ams64).
Don't forget kubuntu is likely to be installed on older machines as a
replacement of WinXP and many are i386.
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,

Hello folks, Art Alpha 1 is released today: release notes:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtfulAardvark/Alpha1/Kubuntu
Please report test results here:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/378/builds
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?
