    [$] The future of 32-bit support in the kernel

    Description:
    Arnd Bergmann started his Open
    Source Summit Europe 2025 talk with a clear statement of position: 32-bit systems are obsolete when it comes to use in any sort of new products. The only reason to work with them at this point is when there is existing
    hardware and software to support. Since Bergmann is the overall maintainer
    for architecture support in the kernel, he is frequently asked whether
    32-bit support can be removed. So, he concluded, the time has come to talk more about that possibility.
