One that is likely shrinking even more. My mother uses i386. But she doesn't read this list. And I doubt she would be able to help testing or write bug reports. She is 76 years old. I don't thing lack of testers or bug reports is a good measure for lack of users. There must be a better way, like counting downloads of a specific package (i386 vs ams64). Don't forget kubuntu is likely to be installed on older machines as a replacement of WinXP and many are i386. > The short lifespans of non-LTS releases do not help, either.
