People often say things without thinking too much about consequences.
I upgrade the kernel regularly after building it in an upto date chroot.
I bet there are many people still using i386 or similar x86_32 that will be
upset.
It is simply a sad story going on. I did not mind throwing away older PC
because of inefficiency compared to new, but in the case the machines are
very efficient. - it will be a pity.
