Ubuntu drops 32-bit ISO

[lah7]

Ubuntu MATE may have the option to continue using i386 (32-bit) images, as @Wimpy says:

Flavours, such as Ubuntu MATE, have the option to continue making i386 iso images although there are some security considerations in doing so.

There's a poll going on here and on Google+ to see if how much affect this has with the community.

Poll: Ubuntu Desktop dropping i386 images

As @Wimpy asks on Google+: There is a proposal being discussed on the Ubuntu Development mailing list to determine if/when Ubuntu Desktop will drop i386 iso images. Flavours, such as Ubuntu MATE, have the option to continue making i386 iso images although there are some security considerations in doing so. This is a complex discussion, but what I'm interested to know is do any of you absolutely require i386 iso images for your hardware? poll
