Hi all,</p>

I’ve been asked to socialize my proposed JEP to deprecate the Windows x86-32 port on this mailing list.</p>

A link to the draft JEP can be found here:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8303167" style="color:rgb(0,120,212); text-decoration:underline">https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8303167</a></p>

In summary, the main motivation for this JEP is that there is currently no implementation of <a href="https://openjdk.org/jeps/436" target="_blank" title="Follow link" style="color:rgb(0,120,212); text-decoration:underline">JEP 436 (Virtual Threads)</a> for
32-bit platforms and without a vendor stepping forward to implement this it's unlikely that OpenJDK will be able to continue supporting 32-bit architectures. Another motivation is that Windows 10 (the last Windows operating system to support a 32-bit installation)
will reach EOL<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span dir="ltr" style="color:currentcolor; text-decoration:underline; font-size:inherit!important; text-decoration-color:rgb(0,120,212)!important"><span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration-color:rgb(0,120,212)!important">on
