Subject: [PULL 8/8] Revert "docs/about/deprecated: Deprecate 32-bit arm hosts for system emulation"
Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 16:36:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230324153610.224673-9-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230324153610.224673-1-thuth@redhat.com>
This reverts commit 1d0a8eba38cdddd028ea02c6e0b68f0a4c9a3cbf.
The commit made the wrong assumption that 64-bit distros are most
common these days on arm devices, but as Liviu Ionescu pointed out,
the recommended OS for the very popular Raspberry Pi boards is still
the 32-bit variant, and thus likely still used by a lot of people:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
Thus it's likely still a little bit too early to put this host
environment on the deprecation list and we should wait a little
bit longer 'til 64-bit distros are the predominant ones.
