Would be much better if x86-32 version was discontinued and work started on x86-64 version only (preferably with no way to run x86-32 apps so that the move is faster).Well, that would stop a huge segment of the Haiku userbase from using Haiku. I would drop Haiku instantly if it was 64-bit only. I'm not going out and buying a new laptop just because you want to faff about with 64-bit stuff. Haiku runs really well on older systems - why would you want to shut those users off?
+1 I don't have any computers with 64-bit CPU's, and I would also drop Haiku if it was only 64-bit. I also feel that Haiku performs very well on the 32-bit computers that I have.
