Right, you might be spot-on: I might have overreacted to this. But probably the main question is still valid (and now we have thread! :)). Should we maintain builds/testing for 32-bit PostgreSQL in 2026 and beyond? (Everyone else in IT world is getting rid of support for even 686). I remember researching if there any real 32-bit users out there and come up with nothing (maybe I'm wrong on this), but maybe that's the right moment to at least start deprecating 32-bits? -J.
