Hello Brian, We already don't ship ISOs for non-LTS releases, so I see this as 2 questions.
1) Whether we want to have an 32-bit ISO for 18.04 2) What to do regarding packages for 16.10. Regarding #2, I'd like to wait and see what Ubuntu does for 16.10. I'd also like to check if the MythTV smolt data contains information on if the CPUs have 64-bit support. For #1, the answer may be a little easier. I'm leaning toward dropping ISOs completely pending my move to snap packaging. I've thought the concept of snaps made the most sense for MythTV since they came about a few years ago. Ideally, I'd like to be able to say "install snappy core, then install the mythtv snap" although I understand it won't be quite that simple.
