Evergreen/13.1 a little peculiar, as 13.2 will almost certainly be around for longer.
yes but 13.1 was announced long time ago, long before Leap announcement
And long before openSUSE announced it would become the first major FOSS distro to terminate 32bit. Meanwhile, the latest Debian release offers both 32 bit and 5 years of support. Is there somebody paying people to provide 32 bit support there? How much extra effort is required provide 32 in conjunction with 64?
I believe that this was discussed already very extensively at opensuse-factory mailing list few months ago (and you participated in this discussion) so I don't see point in reviving this discussion here: issue is not amount of effort but lack of people who are both knowledgeable enough and willing to spend their time supporting 32bit. Furthermore comparing openSUSE to Debian is misleading given that both distributions are following different release models and target audience is different. Cheers Martin Pluskal
