RFC: 32-bit x86 port maintenance, stepping down as maintainer

[Julian Waters]

Ah, I see. Although, since the Port is going to be deprecated if no one
steps up to maintain it anyway, the bitrot resulting from moving the
Template Interpreter code into a different directory might not matter too
much. Sounds to me like it might be less work than swapping to use a
different Interpreter altogether. Keeping the Template Interpreter until
the Port is removed might also help prevent 32 bit Linux Java from suddenly
degrading in performance, in my opinion

best regards,
Julian
