One thing we could do is check the download stats for the x86 releases.
I'll look into that before doing anything else.
Looking at the last 90 days of CDN downloads
There were 5.6 million Tomcat downloads via the CDN
100k of those were for source distributions (not relevant for this
discussion but interesting)
1.2 million of those were for Windows binary distributions.
56k of those were for x86 Windows binary distributions.
Breaking down the 56k further we have:
- Tomcat 8 20k
- Tomcat 9 22k
- Tomcat 10 11k
- Tomcat 11 3k
archives.a.o saw 5.7 million downloads over the same period.
115k of those were for source distributions
1 (yes one!) was for a x64 Windows binary
There were no downloads of x86 Windows binaries
And for entertainment they break down by version as:
- Tomcat 11 48k
- Tomcat 10 380k
- Tomcat 9 2,700k
- Tomcat 8 1,700k
- Tomcat 7 800k
- Tomcat 6 68k
- Tomcat 5 18k
- Tomcat 4 2k
- Tomcat 3 5
There are lots of interesting things about those numbers but in terms of
32-bit Windows support there still looks to be a demand for it all the
way up to Tomcat 10. If we were to drop it for one we might as well drop
it for all but I think there is enough demand to keep producing the
32-bit binaries for now.
