It makes sense to deprecate the 32-bit client. Win 10 32-bit was already pretty rare and any Linux distro has been 64-bit for the last decade.

    It’s not just that. Imagine the dependency management trying to hold onto 32 bit compatibility.

    O, god yes.

    We had this discussion at my company. And the result was we swapped over in our next major version and told any customer who couldn't run a 64-bit program to get an OS made in the last decade. (no customer complained)
