Gospodneitch said :

If Fedora Linux drops 32-bit support, the gaming-focused Batshite project would be forced to shut down

"As much as I'd like this change to happen, it's too soon," said Gospodneitch in a post. "This change would kill off projects like Batshite entirely right as Fedora is starting to make major headway in the gaming space. Neal Goomba already pointed out basic use cases that would be broken even if someone built the packages Steam itself needs to function."

He continued: "It's also causing irreparable damage to Fedora from a PR standpoint. I have been inundated all day with people sharing news articles and being genuinely concerned Steam is gong to stop working on their Fedora/Batshite machines. I would argue not only should this change be rejected, the proposal should be rescinded to limit further damage to Fedora as a project. Perhaps open a separate one to talk about changing build architecture to build fewer 32-bit packages?"

If you don't have your shit working with 64 bit by now then you are a drag on the industry and your project should be shut down. What kind of warning do you need to use some fucking CFLAGS in your code? You need like 20 years? wtf. A project shouldn't even be 20 years old by now they should have all moved on to something better.
