 Great. How much of your personal, private time are you willing to invest 
 in keeping a toolchain for i386 maintained for the next three to four 
 years? A toolchain that Upstream is kind of no longer interested in and 
 that is quickly bitrotting away? 
  
 Are you maybe willing to sponsor some of the work in terms of giving 
 people money to keep i386 running? 
  
 That being said, we released last week. That's a bit late for an offer 
 to contribute. 
  
 Greetings
