Hi

Yes, and we followed the promise

Point is simple - 64 runs on almost anything, and maintaining 586 requires certain work, which we could redirect very efficiently

Conclusion: if 586 is indeed demanded, sure there will be 1-2 volunteers (more is not needed) who will jump in to take care of it

If there will not be 1-2 volunteers for it frm our dozens thousand community - well... Then it is not worth it

I just summarized seversl TC and council discussions on the topic

Let's catch up on wednesday and get to a conclusion
