I suggest to already document this in the release notes for bookworm, possibly in Section 2.1 (Supported architectures) or a subsection in Section 5 (Issues to be aware of for bookworm). Maybe something along these lines: +--- | Debian 12 is expected to be the last Debian release providing | full support for i386. Debian 13 will only partially support | i386 and no longer provide installation media for i386. | | We recommend hosts still running the i386 port to be upgraded | to amd64. Legacy i386 software can be run using multi-arch, | chroot environments or containers. +--- Ansgar
