The short version is that Lubuntu 19.04+ will no longer be released on
the i386 architecture.

<p>(sorry - I made a mistake in some dates I specified, in the prior
e-mail)<br>
</p>
<p>I noticed in the link, that Lubuntu 18.04 LTS will be supported
until April 2021, which is 3 years (not 5). <br>
</p>
<p>I dug into this discrepancy, and found the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="st">The 'main' archive of <em>Ubuntu 18.04 LTS</em>
will be supported for 5 years until April 2023. <em>Ubuntu
18.04 LTS</em> will be supported for 5 years for <em>Ubuntu</em>
Desktop, <em>Ubuntu</em> Server, and <em>Ubuntu</em> Core. <em>Ubuntu</em>
Studio <em>18.04</em> will be supported for 9 months. All
other flavors will be supported for 3 years.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span class="st">This means that even though the main archive of
18.04 LTS is supported until April 2023, where Ubuntu has no
i386 desktop support (and Lubuntu is apparently the only Ubuntu
variant supporting i386 desktop), support of 32-bit desktop in
Ubuntu will end in 2021, rather than the expected 2023. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span class="st">Please let me know if this is correct, or not.
