Well, I mean the reason would be that I suspect we do still have users who are using QEMU for some purposes on 32-bit arm hosts. That doesn't mean they're trying to run massively complex or high memory guests or that they care that our whole test suite doesn't run. I'm not really strongly opposed to dropping 32-bit host support, but I don't think a thread on qemu-devel is exactly likely to get the attention of the people who might be using this functionality. (You could argue that functionality without representation among the developer community is fair game for being dumped even if it has users, of course.) -- PMM
