Maybe the phrase doesn't translate - "voting with your feet" means that when something doesn't meet your needs, you go somewhere else to get something that does.
What Per is saying is that if people who want x86 support from openSUSE don't get it, they'll find a distro that does.
Which, if the stats Richard has are accurate, means we might lose, what, a dozen users? ;) (Exaggeration for effect)
A lot of the stuff we include (I prefer "include" over "support") might possibly have even less users. iSCSI anyone? SNMP?
False equivalency. We're not talking about features, we're talking about an entire platform.
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?
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. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
