So its about 12% for 13.1 and 5% for 13.2 Not sure what it really tells us, but there are people reporting bugs against 32-bit. Maybe it means 32 bit users aren't interested in latest and greatest

Agreed, writing as a long-time user that does not need latest and greatest all the time! My ASUS Eee PC Tablet -- purchased new in 2011 -- is 32-bit only. But, it has (after upgrades) an SSD and 2 GB of RAM, and ran most openSUSE releases since 11.4. A four year-old netbook that I use regularly doesn't feel that old or obsolete to me, especially when running Linux. I procrastinated on the 13.2 upgrade for no particular reason... so looks like I'll be staying at 13.1 Evergreen. It doesn't really matter to me which release I run; I like using openSUSE in general (running 13.2 or Tumbleweed on several machines) and will continue as long as there are security updates. I completely understand that it is not practical to continue official 32-bit support due to the general direction of the openSUSE project with Leap. Is there a way to make unofficial 32-bit support (e.g. a spin) less time or effort... for example, require a successful build against the "minimal x-window" install pattern, instead of all packages?
