Wine will keep working until some long long future point where we drop i386 archive. (Was discussed for a brief bit about being 18.10 timeframe, but that's been taken fully from the discussion). Wine can run on a 64-bit install (as a 32-bit app), Does VST/VSTi work in that case? > Lets look at it anouther way. If I have 5 or 6 pieces of HW that are 32 bit > and 3 that are 64 bit.

All the old machines would still work for the time being. Specifically for a lot of the items that Ubuntu Studio is used for 64-bit is hands down better (Audio endocding, video editing, even gimp editing can do better). > Ubuntu, a word that roughly means "inclusivness", is now becoming a company > that means exclusiveness... if you are poor and have to rely on handme downs > -> go away. > > BTW, the idea of shutting down 32bit archives has rather an interesting > message for basically any flavour aside from vanilla.

Lubuntu has already decided to keep i386.
