That confirms that 32bit support will not be available in the next
release.  That makes the next release obsolete for everyone who needs
it.  Who needs 32bit support and runs stable will either have to remain
with the current release or switch to unstable.

Good job.

I hope you put big warnings all over the Debian website and into the
announcements so that everyone considering to upgrade at least has an
idea of what they are getting into.

And congregulations!  Debian manged to earn my trust and it has it lost
completely by messing up big time.  Debian is deprecated now.  Who knows
what they screw up next time.
