They recently discussed dropping 32-bit support for PCL on the pcl-developer's list, but I'll point out what I said to them, which is that ubuntu.com still recommends 32-bit for their desktop default download. So at least for now, I think 32-bit support should stay.

Related to this it has been suggested to me that we could setup a bidding/kickstarter style campaign for different platform or arch support.  If people are interested we could estimate what it would take to support builds on extra arch/platform combinations for the duration of a release.  And if there is enough community support to fund the project we can turn on specific architectures.

+1

 

Also we are currently building i386 and amd64, we could consider dropping i386 on some platforms to save resources.  

Looking forward, I suspect most PC users will be 64-bit, and the main 32-bit platform will be ARM. That may be true already. Perhaps people would favor substituting some common ARM platform for i386. 

 

Please take a look at the results of both surveys and the above proposal and give your feedback.

+1 It's a good plan, balancing a great many divergent needs.
