I propose to rename JEP 501 to "Deprecate the Linux 32-bit x86 Port for Removal". Why?

This JEP removes the 32-bit x86 port from Linux but does not say "Linux" in the title. JEP 479 removes the 32-bit x86 port from Windows and has "Windows" in the title. Both JEPs will probably be in JDK 24. So, the JEP title list for JDK 24 will look inconsistent, proving once again that naming is one of the hardest things in computer science. 😃
