I do not have an articulate retort to ending support, but all I can say is that I feel there must be a middle ground. I feel that there could and should be some form of "we don’t support it" but we are not going out of our way to prevent it. Can I throw resources at a solution? If so what?

Can we have a moratorium for a short while? Agree. Maybe I should have known from previous announcements that the forever cutoff date was today, but I didn't. I'm now in the process of updating a couple of packages that need it, so the i686 archive will reflect the latest available versions. It would be helpful if we had a couple more days to update before the portcullis comes down. Thanks, Andrew
