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.
