Agreed. As the Xubuntu team member responsible for a large chunk of
our social media interactions with our user communities in those
spaces, I can confirm there are many users in our community who still
use older machines (largely Pentium 4 era), as well as atom
processor-based systems like netbooks which are 32-bit only.

I'd also appreciate more time before consensus is declared and
reported. Most of us work full time jobs unrelated to Xubuntu. A
single weekday is not enough time for us to collect data, come up with
conclusions and chime in. I had this thread pointed out to me and
emergency-spent my lunch break just now writing this since it was
moving so quickly.
