I think it's time to clarify a few things.

- No decision has been made to kill i386

- There are no people "in charge" of this kind of decision; as long as
  there are volonteers willing to make sure DragonFly runs on 32-bit
  machines and build ISO images, new i386 releases will keep coming.

I can see the i386 architecture receiving less and less attention as time
goes by and its number of users dwindle but there's no reason to kill it
prematurely.
