Hi folks, Qemu folks are talking about possibly dropping 32 bit HOST support for Qemu so my question is, are there users of a 32 bit system that use Qemu?
If there is enough response I can forward these to the Qemu folks or else we might indeed see 32 bit host support dropped/deprecated...

Are you proposing to deprecate x86 32-bit, or all 32-bit? I'm not entirely sure about whether we're yet at a point where I'd want to deprecate-and-drop 32-bit arm host support. thanks -- PMM ----- End forwarded message -----
