Hi there!

We tried to retain 32 bits support for as long as it was possible in this
package, but at this point, we (ie: myself and bzed) believe it's not
reasonable to continue with it. There's no CI upstream supporting it, and
it becomes increasingly difficult to support these small platforms that
don't have enough address space to compile without many tricks.

I already filled bugs against reverse dependencies, that were linked against
librados-dev or librbd-dev, and at this point, it should be all fixed
already. If not, bugs can be raised to serious.

Note that Ceph 18.2.x still doesn't build against mips64el, and at this
point, I'm not sure we will continue to support it, as I don't have the
skills, upstream doesn't support it, and nobody is volunteering for help.
I'm not sure how to reach porters for help btw.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
