Re: Drop support for x86-32

[wbrana]

x86-32
- is deprecated since Linux supports X32.
- will slow down adoption of X32 - there won't be X32 versions of many
software - if new ABI was added, old one should be removed
- wastes time of developers who can spend their time supporting X32
instead of x86-32 or support x86-64 only as 99% of users will be able
to run x86-64 software if x86-32 will be dropped
- wouldn't be dropped this year, but there should be plan when it will
be dropped e.g. when Windows 9 will be released
