In my neck of the woods in Canada a lot of 64bit capable computers came
off the store shelves with 32 bit flavours of Microsoft Windows.
This seemed to continue through Win 7, the 8's and I've seen a few cheap
laptops with the 32 bit Windows 10.

This is troubling. There's a strong reason to deprecate i386, and relegate
it to a level akin to mips or s390x -- ie, with security support but

Dear D1rs,
about one week has passed since Devuan 2.0 ASCII Stable was
released. We thought it could have been good to share some stats about
the activity on Devuan file servers since the release was announced:
~185K hits on files.devuan.org
~15K unique visits on files.devuan.org
~3300
