Hi Andreas,

I agree that we can remove EMBOSS in all 32-bit platforms.  I think that
a large fraction of the scientific field has no appetite to do any extra
volunteer work to such as accepting our patches to support scientific
computations on 32-bit systems in 15 years...

Have a nice day,

Charles
