2/ Side note: there are developers that hope 32 bit x86 support (aka x86-32/ix86) will be removed soon from the #Linux #Kernel.
I don't see this happening any time soon. But I sometimes wonder if the 32 and 64 bit x86 code that once was merged with great effort will be split again to make it easier to improve 64 bit x86 support without breaking 32 bit x86 machines.
