Hi Ubuntu Studio team, >From the thread on Ubuntu-devel/discuss [1] I'm going to start conversations with each flavor on what their plans are for i386 in the 18.04 timeframe.
The general ideas are either: *Start Dropping i386 for Ubuntu Studio now* A. Drop Ubuntu Studio i386 ISO for 16.10 B. In addition to A, also block upgrades by dropping packages from i386 archive (not sure what would make sense). Some Pros: Halves the test cases you need to go through. Reduces bandwidth usage and makes it more obvious for new users what to download. (Read other thread for some others) *Wait until after 18.04 and then reconsider dropping i386* Pros: Maintain older hardware running Ubuntu Studio for another 2+ years (up from 3 years). Thoughts? Bryan * You could consider any packages that are 100% specific to the Ubuntu Studio flavor.
