Agree, but it does go to show that we support stuff/features that are used by only a very tiny number of users. How about autoyast?
Again, that's a false equivalency. Building a package and building a full distribution are not even *close* to the same thing.
Without 42.1/Leap for 32bit, for my professional needs, I would remain with 13.2 for a while, then eventually switch to <somethingelse-32bit> for xen guests. I have a strong sentimental attachment to open/SUSE, but when it has to go, it has to go. It would be nice to run 32bit apps on a 64bit host though.
I don't think anyone's talked about not building -32bit packages, just about not supporting a 32-bit kernel.
I have yet to test it thoroughly, but I am pretty certain 32bit apps on a 64bit host will fit my main requirement just fine. We don't build enough -32bit packages though.
Well, then, there's your answer. Solve the actual problem rather than building a full distro to work around the problem.
