Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:22:07 +0200 From: wbrana <wbrana@...il.com> To: Martin Nybo Andersen <tweek@...ek.dk> Cc: linux-kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: Drop support for x86-32 x86-32 - is deprecated since Linux supports X32. - will slow down adoption of X32 - there won't be X32 versions of many software - if new ABI was added, old one should be removed - wastes time of developers who can spend their time supporting X32 instead of x86-32 or support x86-64 only as 99% of users will be able to run x86-64 software if x86-32 will be dropped - wouldn't be dropped this year, but there should be plan when it will be dropped e.g. when Windows 9 will be released On 8/23/12, Martin Nybo Andersen <tweek@...ek.dk> wrote: > Why? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
